hi,
i am in a big5 tech consulting grp at the moment, and am looking for new positions. the question is: what information should i put on my resume?
i have worked with top-tier (f 500) clients for the past < 4 years, and would like this to glitter on my CV, but i am a bit stumped with the sinfully conflicting needs of client-confidentiality and impressive-resume. what do you people do?
question 1:
am i just relegated to using platitudes like: "Led a tech team of 15 in a large conglomerate in the Media and Publications industry"?
question 2:
is it that i should use above platitudes in my resume, then *hope* for an interview, and then during the interview, spill all the names?
any advice mucho appreciated!
thx!

Actually, why don't you focus on _what_ you did instead of _who_ you did it for, since that is a lot more important?
Anyone who has been in consulting for a while knows that name-dropping is the first sign of an insecure person. Plus, if you breach client confidentiality with former clients, what is to prevent you from doing the same with their clients? Not to come down too hard, but it also shows lack of professionalism and good judgement, which are grounds for a "ding".
