Michael S Kauffmann - Résumé

From Kauffmann Kith and Kin

As a norm, résumés tend to just contain the highlights of someone's job history. The reason is simple -- when hiring, people have to review many applications and getting into the details of someone's work history is not necessary, at least in the beginning of the process. Unfortunately, this means that many potential employers never have the full picture of their job candidates.

The internet résumé presents an opportunity to provide more information and that's what I will try to achieve here.

Notes

First and most important, this résumé focuses on my career in the water/wastewater industry. My work history before settling into this career path was chaotic to say the least. However, that doesn't mean that I didn't learn important things from flipping burgers, selling cars, and running a movie theater. It just means those weren't the careers for me.

Second, having been with the same employer for over two decades, maintaining a résumé has not been high on my priority list. The one I put together in June had at least one significant mistake. This process of putting together a more extensive résumé is helping me to create a more accurate record.
