I think EMS is expanded mental strain and XMS is extreme mental strain.

I don't believe that DOS had either of those two...

EMS = Emergency Medical Skills
XMS = X-Rated Movie Scanner

I had to interview someone last year who listed DOS (of various
versions) at the end of their tech skills. 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

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?
