man that didn't work well. I will see if I can do it another way. sorry

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.

I am hoping that this one is better then the last.
