*Disclaimer for Ms. Gardner. In the event that I was applying

for a new post in Beijing as an actual Foreign Service Officer
I wouldn't make a resume, I would never need a resume, I
would be assigned a post even if it wasn't the one I
requested. Just for authenticity sake I thought I would let
you know.
