REFERE CES

Even though this
article is not costume
related, 'list it along
with several other
references to my
travelling talents. Some
day' will find an
employer who wants a
professor to start a
travel study program.

Areas like this help
to tell people I'm able
to run my own costume
shop. The dates also tell
that' "worked from the
bottom up" through
the craft areas, so ,
know them thoroughly.

m Explanations of
what you did need not
be lengthy. Every
reader may not
understand every
abbreviated description,
but most will if you stick
to the main point.

A memorable or
unusual job can remain
on your resume for
years to spark interview
conversation.
