Re: Updating Resume?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I'm not a "non U.S. folk," but having spent a lot of the past few years
working with global companies, I would agree with that.  It seems to
me that the factors that contribute to this are our incredibly hurried
and impersonal business style (condense everything because it's going
to be skimmed rather than actually read) and our obsession with the 
idea that youth is somehow more valued than experience (if it's too 
long and goes too far back you may look too old).  It's not that other 
countries don't move at a fast pace or have a love affair with youth, 
but both just seem more intense here than in other countries I've
experienced in my work.

I would love to hear some non U.S. folks chime in on this one.  I worked
with several friends in the UK to develop their resumes, and the
two-page max requirement seems to be very much an American phenomenon.
