You might want to consider creating a functional resume first, and then include the chronological list of positions at the end. That way you focus on your skill sets and experience first, and satisfy the recruiter robots who look for the chronological stuff.

This is the first time I've done contract work, so I'm wondering, how do those of you who do contract work include it on your resumes? I was thinking of putting a category called "Self-employment" (does the "e" after the hyphen get capitalized?), with the two types of work under that (formatting translations and typesetting/template design). Thoughts? Thanks, Lisa Gielczyk ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
