Mal ,'Ariel'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Aims, how about something like:
Job - 2008-09 School - 2009 to date
I think gaps can be better explained in person. In person, he can say, "We moved back to Michigan for family reasons" and "After I was laid off, along with x number of other new hires, I decided to improve my marketability by going back to school, while also taking care of our daughter." The resume just needs to get him in the door.
Is it formatted as a functional resume, sort of like Bonnie suggested?
"After I was laid off, along with x number of other new hires, I decided to improve my marketability by going back to school
I like it.
It's not. It's Education, Job, Job, Job, Skills, Please for the love of God hire me before my wife kills me for the insurance money.
Start with Skills.
Try Googling "functional resume" and you can look at a lot of examples that put skills first.

I think this could also be said in a cover letter along with, "And now I am looking to..." and then a reminder of some of the skills which would be a good fit for that company and why.
Thanks, Andi. I am having ups and downs, but mostly just enjoying my time with him. And there are lots of other wonderful people to talk to and snuggle.
I am always surprised by how few cover letters we get with resumes when we place ads. It seems like 90% of people just send their resume to every job posting without bothering to customize a cover letter. Just a personalized cover letter that points out the applicable skills helps.
My resume is currently three pages. The last time did a full CV it was around 15 pages. It would probably be 18 to 20 pages now. Thankfully the main folks who ask for my resume at this point are marketing folks.
I really should update my resume. I'm not job hunting, far from it. But it's so much easier to describe a job while I'm doing it, especially noting the high points of projects as they occur. Which I can then trim down when I actually need to use it.

Do you mean customised for each job? I applied for way too many jobs to write a different cover letter for each one. There just aren't that many different things to say about me. In fact, I'm operating mostly on a Buffista-written cover letter from nine years ago. But the key points are still salient.
