Fun with the Unneeded

When I was on my job search earlier this year, I sent my resume to a "resume writer" because it was included with the services I was offered in my severance package. However, I realized the "rules" the resume writer wanted to apply to my resume were not applicable. For example, I wanted to demonstrate that I had successfully done* technical writing contracts for various industries over the course of my 20+ years as a technical writer. My point was that I was not a one-trick pony and had experience learning a new industry. The resume writer wanted to group all of those contracts under a single heading and to not point out the different industries.

All of that to say is that advice about what a resume should look like and what it should contain takes up a lot of space on the Internet and it's possible to find advice that advises you to do whatever you think you want as well as advice that advises you that what you want to do is not what you should do. My daily Glassdoor News email sent me to this article - https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/13-attention-grabbing-resume-examples - and in the comments about the article was this link - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/standard-resume-format-boring-andrey-ptitsyn - with yet more advice. Personally, on this second link, I really liked this:

*Hello Mr. Editor - I hate the word "done" but "completed" sounds wrong - what do you suggest?
