Welcome to what was my resume.

Unfortunately, I’ve had to remove the complete version as a result of people who have decided to ‘borrow’ elements of my resume – including lifting entire sections of text from it verbatim for use in their own resumes.  If you didn’t know, studies have shown as high as 85% of all resumes contain outright false information in them, and apparently it seems that some people aren’t even creative enough to write the lies themselves.  As a hiring manager I have unfortunately encountered a number of these instances firsthand, and I have heard many stories from others that range from the brazen to the outright hilarious.  Anyways, this is the result.

But don’t dismay!  If you would like a complete copy of my resume, feel free to visit my LinkedIn profile for a general overview, or e-mail me using the link at the right and I’ll be happy to send you a URL from which you can download a copy.
