I think EMS is expanded mental strain and XMS is extreme mental strain. -----Original Message----- From: Ken Schaefer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 23, 2008 8:20 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Tech Resume
I don't believe that DOS had either of those two...

Claimed 11 years experience and expert level. I just had to ask if they got much call for those skills these days, and what the difference was between EMS and XMS (and a few other curly questions) :-) Cheers Ken -----Original Message----- From: WL [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 24 January 2008 8:24 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Tech Resume Clearly there are dozens of views on the topic. I will add that I don't have just one resume. The resume is specific to the position being applied for. Relevance, not volume. Provide it in as many formats as may be valuable for the recipient - .pdf, .doc, .swf, etc. For a technology position, do you need to include on your resume that you deployed DOS6.0 on 286s back in the last millennium?
