Sigh.

My resume looks really, really sad. No work experience worth mentioning, hardly any skills to list (even when I note that I use Word and Excel), Dean's List my only decent honor, directing my only decent extracurricular.

I'm not good at this kind of BSing.

help?

I imagine some experience with: Java, C++, Prolog, (Mudd) Rex, Matlab, Kalidagraph, Excel, PowerPoint, Latex. Maybe also: Maple, Mathcad, Origin, HTML?, that program used in DE'sII (what was it called?)...

Also, I can't remember what one puts down to signal some familiarity with unix commands (when using turing). ?'Some experience with: unix'?

(If you haven't used PowerPoint, Latex or Maple that can be easily changed. For Latex I could give you an example .tex and you could do your next math homework that way. Maple is on Mudd's system. I might be able to dig out handouts but probably your best bet would be to just check out the tutorial help in it. PowerPoint is also on the mudd system somewhere. Is insanely easy to use. I'm afraid I don't remember where on the system it is, but I could find out if you wanted.)

(What do you expect most people put under the skills section anyway?)

Luck to you. -K
