For Seattle and All: HOW TO SET UP A PROPER RESUME
Dear Seattle,
I will correct your autobiography. If it is for a resume for a job it should betuned to that use. As is, there is too much that an employer won't have time to
read. Most resumes should not be over one page in length.
I have put it here as a root article so that others can learn from it, too. :-)
Best wishes in your endeavours, Mary
