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.
Whoa. Good myth.

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."

I'm getting the idea that I should put in the tech support related things and save the "what did you do in this gap?" for a possible interview. Especially when filling in an online resume.

Not by my clock. Delete often is not really delete.
Thank goodness I have paranoid habits about always keeping backups of repository folders on my own machine. That was an exciting few hours.
