Resume
I have to sort out my resume. Woah! When did I last write one of those? I dug a couple out of my backups, they go way back to 2002. Double woah! I guess I didn't need a resume to get into Bangarra.
And the things you need to do to update it! I had two: the first one was written in the vain hope that I could get the kind of job (and pay) I had before all this dance hoo-ha began but, being at the wrong end of a IT jobs slump (and despite having had such a position only the year before) it was fat chance I was ever going to be a software engineer in too much of a hurry. Tried to update it but decided that at the moment I don't have much of a need for a resume that describes the developmental outcomes for the implementation of the blah-blah-blah system or whatever.
It was more straight-forward to modify the dance-orientated 2002 resume but, still, as if I need to specify my landline number (like as if I ever use my home phone except for calling for taxis and take-away). And does anyone care what I got in high school now that I'm THIRTY? (not like it was all that necessary at TWENTY-FIVE, I guess...) And there was a distinct lack of URLs that now seem quite necessary. Sepcifying in my resume my Bangarra performance history was a bit convoluted, too. There's been three different versions of the Clan program; only Unaipon is the common thread, the others have works from other programs. When spelling it all out on my resume I felt like I was repeating myself. But not really. Sounds confusing and, considering it's all on the first page, its not a good thing.
Like as if you need resumes nowadays anyway. Its all about the networks and ready portfolios and showreels and stuff. Don't tell us, show us. Not as if I know, I haven't looked for a job in quite a few years now...
