Re: Tips on Getting Hired...Opinion #2501

["Greg Holmes" <greg -dot- holmes -at- gmail -dot- com>]

While we're throwing around tips ... it helps
to have something interesting and unusual in
your resume, even if it isn't directly (or perhaps
fully) relevant.

Interviewers have always seemed fascinated with
my Navy experience - serving on a submarine, and
a stint of shore duty writing nuclear repair procedures.
Most have taken extra interview time to chat about
it, even the "irrelevant" parts (which make the most
interesting stories).

So don't *necessarily* drop that first job (riding logs
down the river?  working in a coal mine?) off your
resume ...
