Yes. I've never added anything, but I have been known to make omissions and I know others who have had to do so as well. With the current job market in the US - being over qualified for a needed job is a real problem.
How so?
If you are over qualified for a job, potential employers worry they won't be able to count on you to be a long term employee, or to be the type to tow the company line. They worry you'll be too independent, or (if they are the type of manager who is easily threatened) worry that your qualifications are far higher than their own. By hiring you they put themselves at risk if your performance is better than theirs.
It's a dog eat dog world out there, man. And the older and smarter you get - the less the younger folks like you. (rofl)
Didn't submit one. I've only ever had ONE job off a resume, and I didn't lie on that one.
It's pronounced "resumé". Resumé.
lol - that key doesn't exist on a US English keyboard. They're different from UK English keyboards, you know. Upper case 3 gets you a # symbol, the £ doesn't appear anywhere on our keyboard, and the @ is upper case 2. You'll notice that a lot of Americans don't bother with the odd letters for that reason. We've adapted through assumption based on the rest of the sentence.
Silly, you never fail to amaze me..:)

I tried to send an email while in London from one of the pay-per-minute internet cafes. Talk about having a heart attack! Try spending roughly $2 a minute looking for the @ key. Finally had to poke the guy next to me and ask. (rofl)
Haaaa, hell of a thing to loose!!
Dang thing sat on the right, down towards the bottom. I looked all over the place! (rofl) And the more upset you become, the harder it is to see things, isn't it? And when money is ticking away ... I get really cranky ... (lolol)
Let me try something, when you press the "Alt Gr" button (if you have it, it's probably beside the space bar), and the E key at the same time, what happens?
I never needed more than an application, factory jobs weren't too picky in the 60's and 70's.
I believe the correct term is "pad". O:)
those who said no probly just dare not to admit
