That sounds eerily similar to audience analysis to me. Is that allowed? :-) My work experience for the last 14 years or more has revolved largely around writing manuals in FrameMaker and delivering them in PDF or on paper. I hate repeating that for each job, which is why I abbreviated my job descriptions and moved the FrameMaker-related stuff to a section about my skills. It makes both me and my resume appear more professional. I finally had to move to a two-page resume the last time I did one. For the longest time, I stubbornly managed to keep everything on one page, but then I realized that it wouldn't fax well because the text was getting a little crowded. Not that many people want faxed resumes any more. Sending things electronically is SO much easier.
