Hi Frank,
Im Lenny, the insane inventor consultant guy on the site. Actually insane is a term used for homeless people. When you have houses in multiple countrys and own companys they upgrade you to eccentric!
Talk to (PM) Wags (Tom Wagner). He is a good guy, a surfacing legend, and lives out there in AZ. Maybe he could point you in the right direction or give some pointers as to who to talk to etc..
Andy made this cool site as a resource to the industry. It really is somethiong quite extraordinary! When we arent bickering among ourselves we are always ready to help a fellow member out.
It is said the surfacing community is a small exclusive club. The company name on the card changes but the faces remain the same!
Now I have some constructive criticism. Im not ragging on you or anything, but I looked at your resume which was quite impressive, especially the variety of materials you have worked with. Please dont take this the wrong way, Im just trying to help you! Under the jobs section you hopped around alot, spending less than a year at many places. Also you have a gap in employment. You need to explain that in some fashion on the resume. Employers freak out when they read that sort of thing, especially in this down economy when the employer can be choosy.
Also I would make another resume, and list all 30 years of experience! They say a resume should only be 2 pages long but dont believe the hype! Mine is 10 pages long! 3 pages are just freaking patents, articles published and speaking engagements. But we (the surfacing community) are an exclusive and small club, and we all know each other.
My advice is to Use the 2 page resume to get the interview, and drop the longer one on them when you get to the interview portion and meet them face to face!
I hope this helps and Good Luck!
