Ok, I know some of you guys do the hiring for companies. I am looking for some pointers on my resume to boost its appeal. Anything look out of place or need revamping?

[pbharris]

i have always looked for the best summaries possible, e.g. being able to say as much as posobel in as few words as possible. but that is my opinion, it is hard to tell. There are many details in yours that mean nothing to me, and i am ex-navy so i would have a better idea than many.

How long ago navy? Its all pretty standard AEGIS stuff.

[pbharris]

1987 - 1991, AEGIS was around when i was there, but i did not have anything to do with it, i was in a cal lab. i don't do any hiring but i will check out resumes and recommend them. for me it is tough when the resume assumes i know what an accroym is.
