Kurt is spot on. You need several resumes, each one tailored for what you are looking for.

If you want to send me a copy will be glad to look it over. I did the hiring at my last 3 companies and seen a lot of them. A good one will get you hired while a not so good one goes in the round file.

BTW, funny story along this subject. I was hired by this company in Dallas just after PSC'ing back to CONUS. After a while started helping with the hiring. Heard about some wacko who was sending his resume in every week on day-glo yellow, orange, red and so on colored paper. When his resumes came in, it really got everyone's attention. Boss finally gave up and called him in for an interview.

He came in on the date and sat in front of the chief pilot. Jon W. threw a wad of paperwork about 3" thick, all different colors, right in the trashcan. He then announced "That's what I think of your resumes. Now that you are here, what in the hell should I do with you?"

Without blinking an eye, the prospective employee opened his briefcase and handed him a new resume (on normal paper this time) saying "Looks like you need a fresh copy of my resume!"

The chief pilot started laughing (the rest of the office around him as well because we were all watching this interview) and then said "Get your a$$ out of my office, you start work next week!" The CP said that he could not deal with the day-glo paper anymore and had to hire the guy. The FNG turned out to be a very nice guy and good worker.

Also, this will work at a company where the people are somewhat loose and have a good time at work. Would not try this approach at IBM, Intel, or GM...
