There are a few people here who don't get "etiquette". It's a hard

Posting on the Piclist is no different from any other public forum in
that regard.

I think all the responses so far have been very good. "Don't do it!
Spare yourself, run quickly while you still have a chance to escape!" is
great advice.

Posting a resume to the Piclist has thorny hazards. But if he's willing
to risk it, it does fit in the [AD] tag. Hopefully people will tread
gently on him with their meat tenderizers.

A straight resume written for HR department review is not going to work
as well as something tailored for a group of thousands of embedded
engineer types, some of whom are also looking for work.

Cheerful regards,

Bob
