Just getting started here; for now, see my quasi-personal wiki(approve sites) and my Wikipedia user page(approve sites) for personal information.

I'm currently taking a couple of years off from school (I'm a senior at Brown(approve sites)), not really at the most obvious time, which occasionally takes some explaining to potential employers. Also, having had historically not a lot of use for actual cash money (not big on luxuries, scholarship student, etc.), I haven't had that many "real" jobs. And, because in the course of my education as a writer (which, like most of my education, has been self-administered) I've come to think of writing as a process aimed at wrestling with hard questions, subtle truths, and complex realities, ideally expressed in lucid prose with limited tolerance for empty rhetoric and jargonized nonsense, I find myself ill-equipped to write resumes, which appear to be constructed largley of spin-doctored sentence fragments. So, clearly I need help.

I've deleted my resume here (though obviously you can look at it through page history) because I'm having some qualms about the traditional resume format, rhetoric, etc. Currently reorganizing my thoughts and feelings about resumes in general and how to write them.
