[QUOTE="FlyinBrian, post: 2118, member: 698"] I now review resumes for a living (since I'm on furlough I now recruit faculty for a University.) Basically, the resume should be as concise as possible, for a pilot job, that means one page. When I get long resumes, I only end up skimming them, so it is very likely that I'm not seeing what the applicant really wants me to. with a nice short, well organized resume, I will see everything on it without having to read a novel. To this end, I would say don't include references. Employers use your resume to determine if there's any reason to even ask for references. Whoever told you that anyone would throw away your resume becausse it didn't include references was mistaken. Just one other tip: I really like bullet point or "outline" style resumes. They are very easy to read, and come across clean and organized. Try to write your resume from the standpoint of the person who has to read it, and keep in mind they have a whole stack of 'em. They are not going to spend 15 minutes reading every award you won in junior high. You're lucky if they spend a whole minute on your resume. (I am not exaggerating.) End of clinic. [/QUOTE]
