Introduction Every time I prepare a resume I once again face the issue of which jobs to leave out in order to produce a resume that fits on one page. But one of the marvelous things about the internet is that space is not much of an issue. So for my own records and as a reference for potential employers, I have compiled here a complete job history (meaning things someone paid me to do), with added details as to the responsibilities and accomplishments of each position. See also: Volunteer History.
