THANKS to John and others who've responded so far! This is exactly the kind
of advice I need. Remember, I'm basically entry level so I'm not competing
with you. ;-)
I think I'll be spending my evening fooling with my resume online and
sending it to many of the places suggested so far.
Another question: One of the experiences I list on my resume is a volunteer
job: I've been a DJ on a community radio station for about 15 years. I
include it because it's something I'm quite good at, and it shows that I
know how to communicate! Any comments?
