Bernie's Notes
From
time-to-time I've been asked if I could post resumes for TCN readers who are
looking for positions. I haven't offered that because I couldn't find a way to
make it easily work within the format limitations of the TCN. I thought I'd
throw the challenge out to the TCN readership to see if you have any solutions.
I want to keep the headline and link format I use with the newsletter. In this
case the link would go to an introductory note and the person's resume. I also
want to make it easy to administer so it just takes a few clicks on my part to
upload the person's information. Do you have any ideas for an elegant solution?
Please drop me a note at bernie@bwcommunications.net.
Thanks!
