Resume length and history

[Brian Chabot]

I just landed a temp-to-perm job at a pretty awesome company with a 3-page
resume that goes back to my first computer job in 1999.  My resume is heavy
on job experience because I only have an AS degree and the jobs I
was looking for were "Bachelors or equivalent" level.
