your resume, show me it

[redsage]

I'm about to start looking for work again, but it's been rather a long time. The last time I had a job was five years ago. As such, my resume-writing skills are a little rusty. (I think I'll be doing a skills-based resume this time anyways, a new concept for me. With my long stretch of unemployment - I've been in school, but still - a skills-focused approach seems wise.) I'm doing some looking online, but the general examples I've seen feel a little disconnected to me. It would help a lot if I could see the resumes of people I know, have some idea of their achievements and skills, etc.

Post your resume here for me? Comments screened by default, let me know if I can unscreen (and if you're looking for work, mention that in case someone reading the comments happens to know of a job you might fit). Anything you can tell me about your resume is welcome too - why you chose a specific format, things you chose to leave off, things that you changed, any specific feedback you've gotten over the years.

If you hire people, I'd be happy to hear any comments you have on the resumes you've looked over - what made you want to interview someone, what made the trash in 5 seconds. I'm doing research online already so I'm getting a general idea of this, and yet anything my people have to offer is welcome input.

Thanks.
