Re: Keep Track of Experience

Sean, I think we do agree -- we agree that sending a customized resume is 
the best way to present oneself for employment. I may have read the 
original post incorrectly, but I thought that the question was "how can I 
save my own time in creating a customized resume (which in turn saves the 
recruiter's time) using certain technology?"

The poster's initial attempt was to save his own time by creating a 
general resume. When he realized it wasn't saving the recruiter's time in 
presenting him for jobs, he asked for input on how he could save time on 
both ends. Making a modular resume wouldn't be that difficult to do -- 
make a database of all your skills, abilities, accomplishments, education, 
training, etc. and then plug in the values into a formatted template. The 
tech part of it is where things get hairy -- which to use, how to 
implement and where to implement (i.e., desktop or web).

Am not sure what you mean. I would suggest ONLY
customizing your resume by hand, a manual process that
takes some planning, thought, and time--perhaps we
agree?
