[ale] Resume

[Cade Thacker]

I deleted the original email, so I am not sure who started this thread,
but I think it would be a safe assumption to say that if you need to have
your resume in doc format(or any format you don't have), then just email
the list your current resume in what ever format you have, and somebody on
the list will be more than happy to convert it and email it back to you.

Or you can just email it to me directly, I will help best I can.
