How can I convey expertise on my CV? What the hell does "expert in $1" mean? Is that a veiled parameter declaration? You want to try and not be too cute on a resume. |

How can I convey expertise on my CV? Ah, then the word would be "expert." Or the schnizz, depending on how informal you want to be. |

How can I convey expertise on my CV? Use your previous title, and specify how many people were on the team that you were responsible for. |

How can I enhance my skills when my current job is not providing much scope? Hmm, scripting... I once worked on an Access/VBA project for six years. Not exactly a career-lifting occupation, but it was enough for me to land a position programming in C#. |

How can I enhance my skills when my current job is not providing much scope? I mentioned Lisp only because you noted that your current employer has no interest in the "latest technologies." Fudamental programming principles are eternal; new technologies are often the "flavor of the week." |

How can I enhance my skills when my current job is not providing much scope? New isn't always better; Lisp is 50+ years old, but it is currently experiencing a resurgence in interest (as is functional programming in general). Lisp's foundational principles have influenced dozens of modern programming languages. |

Should I abbreviate information on a resume to maintain length/layout restrictions? Who is imposing length/layout restrictions on you? The arcane notion that resumes should fit on one page is nice in theory, but for professionals, or people who have been in the job market for any significant length of time, this arbitrary length restriction is essentially impossible to meet. If it is a professional resume, and you've already removed all of the fluff, and you still have more than one page, then abandon the arbitrary restriction and use two pages. The people who have to read your resume without needing a magnifying glass will thank you for it. |
