It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'd just ballpark it and explain when you get to that point.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Each response must include the name(s) and address (es) of your employer(s), your job title(s), beginning and ending dates and the functions performed

Emphasis theirs. And I can't even ballpark most of it. All I've done for 20 years is project after overlapping project. I could only date the last two. I don't want to be that applicant who submits like she thinks she's special.

I have had an apple and a piece of cheese today. I want my appetite back.

Are projects equivalent to employers here? Either way, yeah, that's a tough situation.

Nope. Multiple per. The last job only had two, so it's easier, but the rest are a blur and pretty much always were. I can list them and give overviews, but that's it.

Get one of the resume people here to manage it. I'm not one, though I wish I was.

Just discovered I don't have one of my fav U2 albums. Lost in interview days when the hotel stole my cd case. Gotta love iTunes and dsl.

Weather is noisy and bad sounding. Praying for closures not liberal leave.

That reads to me like beginning and ending dates of employment, not each specific project, though.

The form says:

List each specific experience separately even if they were for the same employer.


JenP - Jan 27, 2009 6:45:17 pm PST #3896 of 30000

That's a pretty unreasonable expectation. I got nothing if they're expecting beginning and ending dates for each and not just time with employer. A hard thing to verify, too, I would imagine.

I have lots of sleet hitting my windows. Not happy about tomorrow.

I'm probably not a good person to ask for resume advice, but I'd group things by position/title, and lump different projects together under that. Do they actually use the word "project" in there? I'm thinking they mean that if you switched roles from assistant X to lead X, or changed the kind of tasks you were working on in a significant way, you should list that separately so they know how long you did X versus Y.
