Resume History

How far back should my resume should date? It currently starts (in reverse chrono) with 1985.

Hi Anne,
As far as history on the resume, there is no fixed rule. Some people put a line that says, for example, "Experience before 1997". Often they do this to disguise their age. You may want to do it so that you could include any experience that would be relevant to your targets, leaving out less relevant experience.
