Today ended with a combination lock ceasing to work and having to call facilities to cut it off. SRSLY.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

While it's actionable to claim credentials you don't have and lie explicitly about what you were doing at certain periods of your life, it's not exactly lying to leave OUT jobs and degrees.

Wow, Sarameg. That's one fancy box!

No shit! She's getting rid of it b/c her remaining cat won't use it and she wants to reclaim the space. Score! I may offer her something since, seriously? That's a serious enclosure. It's in mahogony, which matches with my woods in that room.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I came to the realization that the last resume I did was two computers ago, and I'm not sure it's retrievable.(I copied all the files from the old-old computer on to the computer before this one, but I have no printer attached to that one)
Of course, this is what happens when you've been in the same job for almost 9 years.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My resume is pretty long, but I try to front load the first page sufficiently that it answers most of the questions I get. I have the buzzword, but they're not all on one job, and I haven't made the skill-based resume and have the more tradition job-based resume. With an entire extra sheet listing customers for whom I did big projects to show that I industry switch as a matter of course.
One on the people that wanted me to break open my 401K wanted me to be sending out a one page resume to dice and monster and the like. I've been doing a lot of stuff for twenty years. I'm not sure how doable that is--and how often do they know there's a more detailed and traditional resume to come. Do you just leave an ellipsis?

Plain omissions don't seem problematic to me (DH has different resumes he sends out depending on whether he's applying for research or writing positions), but changing titles I'm wary of. That could come back to bite you when Potential HR calls Previous HR to check your references.

I was an Enterprise Application Architect at one my last jobs, and Computer Resource Manager at another. What did I do? Project Management. Makes those entries a bit longer. I don't know if I've ever had the title Project Manager, but it's been my major field for ten years now. And the Computer Resource Manager people let me put Project Manager on my business cards.
