Andrea: Résumés are part of what I do for a living, from both sides of the fence. Your Engineering comment is humorous and apropos. I'd leave it in; it shows a strong balance of wit and awareness. Too many résumés read like the author has nothing but job experience, and no life. Those that must review applications for jobs are always intrigued by the little extras; these things separate the "ignore" pile from the "outgoing" file. Job experience is relative only by what differentiates an potential hire from all the others, because (fortunately for those who have to read 'em) I'd say 75% of all CVs don't get read to the end. ...
