Yeah, I tried search, don't we all know it doesn't work well, or... at all.

So, I'm going with the example in 'Teaching English Overseas' a book I've had for years (It's taken me awhile to facilitate a clean break with the US so I could teach it up in ROK.), and I'm wondering if it's terribly dated.

Is the standard still, don't use Western Style resume? I'm good at those. This seems extremely stripped down.

Give me some feedback oldtimers and those of you informed as I'm sending it out tonight or tomorrow. I've got to get while the gettings good.

The paste killed the format, but you get the idea. Is this really all the recruiters need?

Yes, I'm going with a recruiter. I was on, in the healthcare field, so I know what to expect from them, for the most part. I'll probably end up going with ASKnow or one of the recruiters a friend of mine used.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

With the 'stache I kind of look like the guy in my avatar, maybe with thirty more pounds and twenty less years.
