Why would you leave D for slalom

You told them that you don't ski, didn't you?

Unlike Big D where we do capability hires or anticipate market needs on skills and can afford to have a bench, @Slalom if they don't have a seat for your butt to bill, please hold and the next available recruiter will be with momentarily. Difference between playing in the minor vs the major leagues. Not knocking them but ...

I've a question on what sections to put on a regular resume. I see some people are using consulting style resume for outside companies as well. Do you think it's a good idea to devide work experience by projets? Or is it better to have "projects highlights" separate from work experience.. something like: intro>functional expertise> project highlights>work experience>education?
