I returned from a two year around Africa trip and settled into an unsatisfying job for a year. As I was revamping my resume to find a "better" job I stumbled onto this post from mustg02011. The wording grabbed my attention and I used most of Greg's wording on my resume. It turned the whole travel experience into a positive life experience, and attracted a lot of attention. I today received an offer for the position of Finance Manager for a company in the Seychelles. So to Greg.......thanks! If your wanderlust brings you to the Seychelles, look me up and the drinks are on me.
