Thats something I am willing to live with for now.
My previous PDF version of the document had a copyright message at the
bottom of the front page stating that they could not modify or change
a thing without my say so. That unfortunately gets dropped in the HTML
version.

When I actually get an interview with the prospective employer, I get
around this by sending my version of my resume directly to the employer
a day or two before the interview.
I ALWAYS get comments along the line of "we got the resumes and they
were all so generic, but then we got yours and it just jumped out at
me".
Havinmg now been keen to change jobs for over 6 months. I cannot
begin to describe the level of contempt I have for these lowlife. I
have more respect for lawyers and used car salesmen.

Unix: You think it won't work, but if you find the right
