RE: using a slogan on a resume

["David Downing" <DavidDowning -at- users -dot- com>]

Well, the idea of providing a concise summary of your assets is
certainly a good one -- especially given that anybody looking to hire
probably gets a million billion zillion resumes to go through -- but
doing it with a *slogan* per se seems like a gimmick.  If I were looking
to hire somebody, I'd be turned off by someone who I thought was trying
to use gimmicks and/or cheap tricks to "wow" me.

What I'd suggest is to adapt the "career objective" entry that opens a
traditional resume, and make it an "Objectives and qualifications"
entry.
