  1. Old people?? I'm gonna kick your ass ; )

    Monster.com has some good examples. Also, just search for a specific example (e.g. college resume, political science, intern or include the job you kinda want to go after).

    No longer than one page, use bullet points under headings and use active language. Send to this old person to help edit if you want.

  2. you should just send a giant picture of your smiling face. how could it fail! plus, now that you have deodorizing spray you don't even smell nauseating any more so your desirability is definitely going way up
