It's too early to add chocolate vodka to my coffee, right?
Not by my clock. Delete often is not really delete.
eta: Is there anyone you know in HR that could clarify for you, Connie?
I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Not at this hour. I poked around the explanatory section and found some guidance. Now I need to track down my resume and get dates for old jobs. It's been years since I've filled out one of these, it's nervewracking.

In addition to the awesome Cosmo news, the kitty I picked up last night, thinking it was Cosmo turned out to indeed have a microchip and CosmoNot (who is really Bella) is happily reunited with HER owner, a nice lady who was very happy to see HER kitty.
I feel like I've been smoking the world's most excellent happy weed all day long. I'm so blissed out.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is the Summary a general listing of my skills, and specific skills tailored to the job?
I'd do more of a paragraph in Summary ("a seasoned XX professional with background in ABC kinds of things") and more bullets in Specific Skills.

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

Jesse's right about the resume, Connie.
Wow, Laurie Holden! That's pretty fucking awesome!

Is it still resume fashion to do things in sentence fragments "seasoned technical support professional", or is it "I am a seasoned technical support professional"? Stupid, changeable, possibly-career-gutting nitpicky details.

I feel like I've heard somewhere that The Kids Today might put full sentences in the description of each position, but I wouldn't. Even in the summary, I wouldn't start with "I am," but it wouldn't hurt. Neither thing would really hurt, probably.

Fragments. Don't use "I" in a resume; Try to begin frags with verbs if possible -- Developed, beta-tested and maintained 3 databases for HooHa Management Functions -- and try to be specific: 15+ years of advanced quantum fuckery. "Proficient in Word, Excel, Blah, Whatsit, Nonsuch and Blerglehorf" instead of "Computer literate."
