i guess so. i'll probably send the one pager and not use a cover page. i really don't know what to do with the first page. i want it to be a nicer layout but don't have time to make it nicer. have lots of work going on.

(Jun 18 06, 10:12)The recommendation I would have for anyone working on their resume, is to create an identity for themselves. I think the resume should simply be thought of as a well-typeset letter on your designed letterhead (which should be a typo-graphic vs. graphic exercise, unless you're gonna drop the $$ to have a nice but not too distracting graphic treatment on the back that ties in w/ your business cards, etc.)...
whenever I send out a cover letter (what we call a CV in the states), I just typeset it on my letterhead and print it on my laser printer at home. I've NEVER had anyone ask me for a CV. Perhaps that's more common in Canada? Seems a bit extraneous for someone in our line of work.
Just my 2 cents, take or leave it...best of luck piper!
