Resume

My most recent resume document is: paul_d_wilson-20070707.xml

The file is XHTML 4.01 and XML 1.0 compliant and so should display correctly in current web browsers or other XML rendering software. Please see my note [below] about document formats before sending me a request for a "Word Format Resume"

Availability

I am currently available for work.

I am a US Citizen by birth.

I am currently located in Phenix City, Alabama, which is right across the river from Columbus, Georgia, about 120 miles southeast of Atlanta. I am planning to travel to New England in 2010, and possibly back to Ohio, as well.

The bulk of my experience over the last decade has been as a contractor (W2) for various engineering staffing agencies. I remain interested in a wide variety of opportunities of all sorts.

A Note about Document Formats

A note to recruiters and HR staffers: Please do not email me demanding "a Word format resume ASAP!!" - I do not own a license for MS Word, and have found the non-Microsoft tools for manipulating Word documents to be less-than-adequate.

Please feel free to copy and paste from the XHTML/XML version to a Word document if that's what you need.

Microsoft Corp has endorsed the XML standards, and Word should be able to read XML and XHTML natively in future versions. Until that time, the document formats I'm providing are:

7-bit ASCII text (I.E. "plain text")
Open Document format (used by OpenOffice 2.0)
Portable Document Format (PDF) (produced by the OpenOffice 2.0 "Export" functionality)

If you have an interest in these document formats, and issues surrounding them, you might be interested in taking a look at the results of this Google search (Microsoft+XML+Word).
