Keep Your Resume Short ... Really Short

You've probably been advised to limit your resume to one page. Many people find it hard to summarize years of work experience in such a brief document. How would you like to make your resume much much shorter than that? Stephen Baker, on Businessweek's Blogspotting put out a call for readers to submit Twitter-style resumes, 140 characters in length, for celebrities, business leaders and themselves. Could you do it? If you can, send them to Stephen at Blogspotting, particularly if you have ones for CEOs and other business celebrities. He updated his post to say that he really needs more of those. I would love to see your own 140-character resumes. How would you describe what you do in 140 characters or less? Use the comments button to share.
