Thanks for your suggestions. I did transpose "from" and "away" and my
eyes just couldn't detect it. I agree with you on the other points. I
definitely customize my resume for each recipient, and will start
using the bolding idea there. As for the experience levels I've been
asked for a spreadsheet indicating that info so many times that I just
decided to include it. It was including the years in the Overview that
gave me the freedom to remove the redundant entries. I think changing
that would be for my CV instead of my one-pager.
