C-Bag, Anyway, I probably bored most of the readers but I am amazed as to how advanced computers have become over the years. Paul

Anyone feel bored? None I know or see!
Most of this is a universe; boredom is only deserved by those who know everything in a particular subject. Makes jibes like "Why yes, I do know everything; just don't remember all of it at once" so funny.
Little exists without some form of continual development. It also extends through re-discovery and preservation. Hats off to HMT.net
Memorization can be pointless beyond a certain level; you do need to know how and where to access related information. The image of a law or doctors office proves that, reinforced that professionals tend to specialize. And schmooze.
Meanwhile the Trades learn utilization and creativity to surmount challenge; hence we can and do govern our universe.

I'm currently occupied by search for new employer. Half is conducted personally; with a couple of agencies vying for my account too. Both use identical resume. Yesterday was introduced to first agency; named & described a couple places they have in mind. They kindly intoned resume is laden with 'our' particular vocabulary (not jargon) that will intimidate hiring managers; suggesting an edit "for readability".
I kindly declined that occur; readability only eases their job while lowering my potential hourly rate of pay in an offer. I write those as specifically as I can, addressing someone like a leadman. It should equal what's implied by a brand name. Impact is created by vocabulary, and I expend great effort avoiding the 'new speak', it's just hyperbole. Those with less to say, depend on adjectives, verbs etc. to hold attention.
Today on same resume, interviewed with owner of pretty big metallizing plant. All manual machines. Descendant of grandfather who opened it 60 years ago, been there in some capacity since age of 8. I know little of metal-spray yet we conversed deeply well over two hours. On a Friday afternoon, 3 day weekend and all!
Sure thing; I'm gonna dilute my resume...

My (hopefully yours too) favorite dufus can't get through an improvement description without 11 'robust' 5 'virtual' and a blank check for 'critical'.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, ok 1.5" thick, 3/4" fasteners on 4" centers, before close of business. Got it.
