My professional life in two pages

Here's the latest draft of my resumé (as a Word document--I'll get an HTML/CSS version up later). Comments and suggestions are welcome (as are interview requests and job offers!). These are the things I'm nervous about:

• Layout. I've always done a two column resumé--headings in a narrow left column, bullet points in a wide right column. I understand that this flush-left format is better for on-line submissions. But does it look okay? Should I do two different layouts, one for print, one for on-line submission?


• Format. Contemporary wisdom in resumé-writing is to put accomplishments first. I've also been told by several people that I need a two-page resume (no one says this, but the implication is that I'm too old to fit everything relevant on one page). Combining these two bits of advice, I end up with the traditonal resumé categories of experience and education on the second page. Is that okay?


• Grammar and Spelling. So far, this has only been proofread by me and MS Word. Any volunteers?


• Blue lines. Should I get rid of some or all of the URLs on the first page? Are they too distracting?

If you can help me with any of these questions, send email to joy at moll projects dot com or leave a comment on my other blog. Thanks!     #
