inTIL a simple change to my resume format got me way more calls back
Exactly, it's like a store display, right? I used to bury my best stuff in work history and wondered why I got no calls. Now my skills are the first thing they see, and the response is way better. How many good people do you think get missed because of a boring resume layout?

inTIL my old way of tracing a ground fault was a total waste of time
Yeah, that isolation step is everything, isn't it? You have to get the whole circuit dead and disconnected to let the megohmmeter do its job, otherwise you're just reading through other paths. It's the difference between finding the actual leak and just knowing the pipe is wet somewhere. I still keep a high-pot tester around for really stubborn intermittent ones, because sometimes you need to stress the insulation with a higher voltage to make a weak spot show itself. But you're right, it changes the whole game from a guessing hunt to a real test.
