Resume Dilemma
After several years of electronics and microcontrollers as a hobby, I was hoping to find a job that involved these elements. Being in my late 50's, it has been a long time since I had a couple of EE courses in college. Never had a job in electronics. So you see the problem(s) here. How can one convey experiences or knowledge that has been gained away from formal education, or previous employment, to a prospective employer? Does such experience belong in, or outside of a resume? If one has been involved in an open source project on the web, how do you account for that?
In my era, it seemed that resumes were pretty much a chronological order of job titles and duties, has this changed greatly? Any links to a modern resume builder, tips, examples would be great.
