I'm going to recommend the Jenny Foss videos over this one; some advice here seems questionable. You've NEVER had anyone ask for references, for instance? As a college instructor I am probably called for references at least every other week. And while age discrimination can be a factor, in our area including a graduation date for entry-level tech grads indicates up to the minute training in their areas of expertise. (Perhaps that varies geographically, but in our area employers expect this.) I would love to hear some of the opinions here substantiated with statistics to back them up, because some come off as more opinions to me.
