I didn’t bother printing more that 4. It’s crazy that he thought someone would go through all that information before talking to him. The highlights section was a beauty as well.

13 Page Resume

I personally, try to keep my resume as short as possible. It’s currently at just about 2 pages.

Hitching a ride

This guy latched onto my car’s side view mirror and hitched a ride to my office. About 4 miles or so… probably a whole new world for it.
