RE: Resume: Educational relevance in light of actual experience?

[Ellen Vanrenen <ellen -dot- vanrenen -at- clear-technology -dot- com>]

My education had provided me with many advantages in my career: I've been
hired many times because of my post grad degree and my next-step-up
almost-made-it degree. As you can tell from my postings, it hasn't equated
to expertise in my field.

As for GPAs, mine were excellent.

Too bad I've never been asked about me GREs.

I still don't know about kerning, the PDF I made this morning still bites, I
can't do the more complex tasks in ForeHelp without calling Holly, I have
only an intermediate knowledge of Frame, and, as some of you may remember, I
couldn't read Writing Software Documentation: A Task Oriented Approach. Oh,
and should we forget, I put quotations around the word "word," which I meant
to do, instead of the word "deal."
