Opensim turns two and our listeners give advice on getting your C.V. updated (resume for our US listeners). Andy also points out that all of your online content is your C.V. It’s amazing that the guys don’t catch the nuance that the visual C.V. ties directly to leakage of your privacy. The good news is – people lie about their online persona, however, Google can see thru it. Michael M. ends up dropping early, while Andy obsesses about finding his Patent number. But it all works out in the end with Final Thoughts.
