>=A0I find the resume poor at describing your SKILLS. =A0Owner/designer/
>=A0manager is pretty ambiguous. =A0How big are these companies? =A0Did y=

>=A0design circuits? =A0Did you write code? =A0Did you write specs for an
>=A0offshore team of coders to implement on reference-design hardware?
>=A0Which Microcontroller/Microprocessors? =A0What languages? =A0What
>=A0design tools? Which foreign languages did you communicate in?
>=A0About the only thing recent that you mention specifically is
>=A0dealing with injection molding companies, which I don't think is
>=A0the job you're aiming for.
>=A0Pick a recent project or two that are relatively recent and not too
>=A0restricted under NDA, and describe what you did in more detail.
>=A0LOTS more detail.

That makes sense, so I will have to make up different resumes for each fi=
eld.
It come down to that I have no clue of how to search for each field.

NO!
Had letters from Intel and RCA from back then but have long lost.
Same with brochures from same period that are lost.

>=A0You could say "designed the first microprocessor controlled motor

thanks

Ah' that was generated by my resume writer.
Copied but not sure if standard.
Thanks,

>=A0Someone all ready mentioned HR departments. =A0Your resume is also
>=A0"keyword poor" WRT getting past HR screeners. =A0That should get
>=A0better as you address the previous paragraphs, but keep it in mind
>=A0elsewhere. =A0"Electronic Circuit Design for ...", "Firmware",
>=A0"Software engineering", "MPLAB", "C language." =A0(I'm not so
>=A0familiar with the areas you have worked in, but presumably there
>=A0are relevant keywords there as well; specific home automation
>=A0protocols, perhaps? Echelon, X10, RS232, etc?)
thanks

>=A0You might want to have two resumes. =A0One for when you're applying
>=A0for manufacturing engineering/management jobs, and another for
>=A0design/ development engineering. =A0The current resume is a bit
>=A0confused; the top paragraph mentions a LOT of manufacturing
>=A0management stuff, and de-emphasizes "design" (one whole word!) =A0But
>=A0a lot of the rest of the resume talks about things you designed...

Companies I consulted and or manufactured for.
Not my companies.

I was never a good business manager for myself.
I was getting so good at offshore manufacturing I started to give away  d=
esigns to get the manufacturing rights.
This was back in the early 1990's
Turns out customer were just using me for testing the market.
Also purchased a large inventory for Solar Drapes (5-8 years ahead of the=
ir time) but they went belly up because
the big window covering manufactures felt nobody really needed a remote c=
ontrolled window covering!
I had to go bankrupt and have not recovered since.

At least 7 companies on this list:
http://www.nortek-inc.com/companys.htm
where my customers.

Some say Nortek is not Chinese but that is not what I was told by these c=
ompanies.

Thanks for the help.
Ray
