@all: Thanks for your help!
I think I've got an idea of how I'm gonna do this:
By listing job history in reverse chronological order, my current position becomes my major skill set area. This will be the largest section, full of all the neat stuff I do.
Next, my transitional position, and original fileroom position can show background and fundamentals specific to the department/workflow where the system is used. It's important that I know how the dept works from several angles; I know how the dept ran before the system was implemented. And most importantly, when we got the system I instantly displayed an aptitude for it, and within a short time I was running it.
Before I worked here I was in construction, which can be spun as a useful skill set as well. Construction is used as a metaphor for Project Management. It's totally relevant. I know how to plan and gather the tools and resources needed to accomplish a specific task most efficiently. Project Management.
Before that, perhaps a combination section. One lump of related crap jobs I did. One skill set, several employers. Maybe two lines.
The drumming thing works into a "community service" section, as I have been playing at charity shows here at work, and have worked with several churches over the years. See, I'm a good guy. I have productive interests outside of work.
Education. I was in school like 15 years ago, but now that I have a career I'm back to do something specific with my education. Also, I have worked with vendors and consulting firms, giving site visits of our facility as a part of a course on this type of system. So, in a way, I've been involved with providing education in my field. I just now thought of grouping that experience with education. Think that would work? Where should I put that?
