I think the abstract is just fine. I don't believe the title matches nor does justice to the abstract or the session, though. Now, after reading the abstract, I get the point as to why the title is what it is, but the purpose of the title is to make people want to take the time to read the abstract. I've skipped over reading the abstract for this session many times simply because I took the title to be yet another person telling me how to "write" a resume rather than how to increase my value and exposure to a future employer.

What do I suggest for a title? You're much better at writing than I am but, whatever you come up with, I'd avoid the word "resume" like the plague.

Hmmmm... there is one minor change I'd make to the abstract simply because it seems so obvious. We know that it will be a "session"...

Heh... nah... hmmmph 🙂 BWAA-HAAA!!! A really eye-popping title might be something like "Exposing Yourself in Public". 😛 I guarantee people will stop and read the abstract for that one! :hehe:
