[ale] My resume

[Jim Kinney]

after much editing and outright dropping of topics en masse, my resume
is nearing 3 pages is I leave out most normal things like articles and
conjuction words.

Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon but I expect more than a 1-2 page synopsis
of the firm I'm applying to as well. Why should treat them with less
attention than I expect?  I tend to distrust "marketing slicks" as
they are generally garbage information. I see my resume as more than a
marketing slick for my past accomplishments.
