Last year I handed my resume to a head hunter.  He completely rewrote
it making me seem outstanding, (which I guess it a good thing).  The
minor problems were a) he added so much crap that wasn't true that when
I went in for the interview, I was dumbfounded, b) I didn't see his
version of my resume until this interview.

Moral: Don't spice *too* much, and always let your client see what
you've rewritten about them *BEFORE* their first interview.
