Your resume is 15 pages?

That’s a work history, not the tailored marketing document that actually gets one noticed and hired. Sadly, nobody is going to take the time to read anything that long.

I know. I hacked it down to 4 pages this evening. I made sure all the hot button skills in demand by hiring managers are on page 1. I had a hand-carried offer for my current job before writing a resume or filling out an application. I'm dealing with age(58), experience 34 years and salary (over $160k) as competitive issues. CNN is dumping their over 55 employees per Drudge.
