resume: "job obituary format"=bad

["Robert Nagle" <verycompetentperson -at- hotmail -dot- com>]

I enjoyed the discussion of resume formats over the past few days. I 
appreciated the confessions from hiring managers that they made sure the MS 
Word resume used styles. I had to go back and look back at my resume to see 
if I used styles. Luckily, I had.

Tech writers probably have strong opinions on the subject, and so do I. 
(Ultimately, we can probably  agree that a resume per se doesn't land 
anybody a job).  Still, the job obituary format doesn't seem to be a helpful 
format to use, especially for people with lots of contract experience.

I posted some comments about resumes and usability on
