I really think I'm being awfully wordy here, but the simple fact is that my last 6-7 years of work experience have boiled down to "do everything", with tons of individual skills and tasks involved. Mostly, I've already edited out the stuff that isn't actually part of my daily job duties, but that I tend to do anyway wherever I go, such as write detailed procedures manuals and rewrite/organize forms, and some other stuff that was valued but not part of the job, like producing maps of the various emergency exits in the building for the purpose of training on building evacuation and a flyer to be given out to some potential benefactors (? I think) who were touring the Library one day. (I figure I'll just have to save that for mention in an interview.)
The text you see here is approximately 2 pages, which I'm told is okay nowadays, rather than having to squeeze it all on one page (forget it!). In past revisions I've left out the Hornet Bookstore job since it was so short; it's not very significant, and I worry that it might appear that I was fired (which wasn't the case), but I've included it here for completeness. Suggestions welcome, if I've made some glaring error or something could sound better or whatever. (The formatting is better than this in the actual document, so ignore that, and the fact that the square bullets have apparently turned into the legal-document "section" symbol.)
