I'm intrigued by the idea of the brochure-style resume. Out of curiosity,
I wonder if anyone out there has tried it--and how well it was received.
As a side note, what do those of you with extensive experience say about
including coursework such as seminars and workshops taken while not in a
regular academic program? Do these get listed at all? Or do you lump them
under additional studies? Some of these are really valuable, but listing
them does add to the gray matter on the page.
