You're right that most folks are told to eliminate this information from their resumes, but 15-20 years ago, it was quite common. It was also something people were coached to consider carefully.

It says a lot about their character. ~Carla I loved reading this. You’re right that most folks are told to eliminate this information from their resumes, but 15-20 years ago, it was quite common.
