Job Interview Coming Up

Tomorrow is my big job interview. Okay, it is actually a "pre-interview" interview - those of you who have been job hunting know what I'm talking about. I'm not going to mention what job it is for yet. I want to wait until I see how tomorrow goes. Quite awhile ago, I mentioned being disappointed with the library field and that I had "a clever plan." Well, this is it. We'll see just how clever it turns out to be...

In the meantime, here is my resume with the header information (address, phone, ect.) taken out. It looks much better when it is all formated and printed on nice paper.
