Doesn't always come out here like it does at home - not really a big deal - the information is there. Remember - the most important part of the resume is what you can do for the sponsor. Resume's are like art - they paint a picture. How you want the sponsor to see you and what you can do for them is a creative process. There are standard resumes which are the way to go in some cases and then there are the non-standard (more creative) resume's which may apply in those other cases. Your resume should be built/written based on who you plan on sending it to. Mine are all a little bit different. I've got more than a couple.
Contact info up front I like - they need to know how to get in touch and your name is soemthing you want them to remember.
Tourney experience - where? Club format or something larger?
Truck driver - do you realize how huge that is? You can promote as far as the truck drives - bait and tackle shops across the country get visited - think exposure of a product - how can I get this product in front of more people? How many cities and towns do you visit yearly and how many tackle shops can you visit - make an estimate. You are a mobile promoting machine ;) I'd create a theme of some kind around your job driving and get this out of the basement and move up. How many truck drivers are interested in fishing? Business cards - buy 1000-2000 and hand out wherever you go. Promotion of a product is an ongoing thing - everywhere you go there are opportunities to make people aware of what is out there to help them catch fish. CB - hey good buddy - you interested in fishin - heard of XXX? Gosh the ideas are endless - I'd build my resume around my job if I were you - "Company XXX - come truckin with BassBoss!!" Something like that anyways.
