Nathaniel had some very good recommendations and we felt<br>that others in the group may be interested in them as well. In todays<br> economy where companies are laying off workers every other quarter (or<br>more often) it just seems like a good idea to have a current resume handy.<br><br>How many of you would be interested in getting together to clean up your<br> current resume or if you don't have one write one? We can either do this<br>as part of a regular IRL or as a meeting all to itself. It would be good<br>to have a presentation on what hiring managers are looking for when they<br> are going through a stack of potential candidates.
