    I have found a method that works REALLY well when writing the best resume possible - evaluate a lot of OTHER resumes. If you have a little time and a little money, sign up as an employer for one of the large career boards and get in to look at resumes of others who are seeking the same type of position. It makes it easier to know your own value and your strengths against the competition when you can compare your own resume to theirs.

    Great lens! Now... if only I could find something to actually put on my resume, that would be good. What about 'I read one of my stories in assembly when I was in 5 years old... or maybe I was 6'! Blessed by The Creative & Commercial Writing Squid Angel!
