When it comes to my resume, I don't compromise. An
agency is allowed to chop of my masthead (name,
address, phone), but they do not, in any way, shape or
form, touch the body of the resume. They must
photocopy the resume onto their masthead. I've stated
this with every agency (and I'm on my 6th or 7th
contract) I've worked with and it has never been a
deal breaker.
I do this so I can walk into an interview and know
that we're both reading from the same "sheet of music"
