Yes, getting close Wayne. Thanks for the support brother. I am so excited about the next step in my life. Some call me stupid and some say go get'em, all I know is I know whats right for me right now. Am I a little scared sure, but VERY excited to start a new career. Was gonna see if maybe someone who hires people to work for them could give me a little feedback on my resume. I am sending it out for the first time tommorrow... :crossfing

No problem, been there done that, I will make one suggestion that is a life suggestion more than a job suggestion,.....

Don't just go for what you can do, go for what makes you happy. I know, easier said than done, when, we work (most of us), because we have to ($). Anyway, best of luck, and I'm a e-mail / PM away if you need any help during your transition.

... :( I am sooo close to gassing mine after 13 years... Man, what a lot of headaches and "chit" .

Sometimes it is good and sometimes it is REALLY bad. A lot of stress. I don't pay attention to resumes' , I have enough problems in a day..

Chrome...Good luck with the job hunt. If you need another review let me know. mailto:wes.wilhour@sbcglobal.net
Ine big thing these days are to match your resume to the specific job. Companies are using keyword matching software to pare down the list of resumes before going to the hiring manager. Some jobs here are getting 1000 resumes a day. Networking and face to face meets are the best way to get hired.
Good luck.
