hardcopy resume - e-resume

This resume is for someone who is an achiever in his field with a few obstacles to overcome when convincing an employer to hire him. Notice that the most recent entry in his Work History hides the fact that he was actually unemployed while doing several jobs (two freelance and one volunteer) during a span of seven years. By not putting dates in his Education section, the employer cannot determine the applicant's exact age. Functional resume, updated 2004. E-resume version of this resume for posting online.
