So, I updated my resume again…. Alisha went in for some job-search related help, and I copied some of her changes. I may end up going in on my own if I can find the time for it; it sounds helpful.

Does it seem lame to put in an active description for certain jobs? For some jobs you can make it sound cool: Created and maintained a standards-compliant, attractive site to inform and facilitate interaction. But sometimes you really can’t come up with anything that doesn’t sound lame: Kept a contacts database up to date.

The other problem is that it tends to lead to such self-important verbiage as ‘utilized’. The problem with the word utilized is that it is three syllables and means the exact same thing as ‘used’. Basically the only legitimate and necessary use of the word ‘utilized’ is that which either mocks or otherwise attempts to imitate PHB-subculture.
