If you leave it off, you’ll still have a gap to explain. Prospective employers are going to want to know the story there. If this job was more than 10 years ago, and you’ve had steady employment since then, I’d say sure, go ahead and leave it off of most private-sector resumes. _______________________Another phone interview question: I have recently had the flakiest experience with a potential employer. The HR rep left me a message asking to schedule an interview. I called back, got voicemail, and left a few dates that would work for me. She called back to say none of those would work (once again playing phone tag) and offered me a choice of two times, both of which I had already said would not work.

[...] Rasilez®, The First-in-class Direct Renin Inhibitor, Reduces Left…Medical News Today – Medical News Today (press release) – Apr 5, 2008Alone and in combination, Rasilez was well-tolerated[1]. “ALLAY is our first proof that direct renin inhibition, and aliskiren in particular, reduces thickening of heart muscle which is a key risk factor for heart disease,” said Dr Scott Solomon, lead investigator of ALLAY and Director of Non-Invasive Cardiology at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Boston, USA. “This is important because it provides doctors and patients with another LVH treatment alternative, while also providing effective blood pressure lowering. ” The ALLAY study is the latest trial in the ASPIRE HIGHER program to highlight the organ protection potential of Rasilez, the first new kind of high blood pressure treatment in more than a decade[1]. Other studies, including ALOFT, have highlighted the protective potential of Rasilez against heart and kidney diseases[3],[4]. ALLAY, involving 460 overweight patients with high blood pressure and LVH from eight countries, investigated whether Rasilez reduced LVH as well as losartan, and whether a combination of the two medicines offered further LVH reductions over losartan alone[1]. Patients were randomized to receive Rasilez or losartan alone, or both in combination[1]… ALLAY, involving 460 overweight patients with high blood pressure and LVH from eight countries, investigated whether Rasilez reduced LVH as well as losartan, and whether a combination of the two medicines offered further LVH reductions over losartan alone[1]. Patients were randomized to receive Rasilez or losartan alone, or both in combination[1]. ” ASPIRE HIGHER is the largest ongoing cardio-renal outcomes program and involves more than 35,000 patients in 14 trials, including three new mega-trials. ASPIRE HIGHER is studying Rasilez and direct renin inhibition in a variety of kidney and heart diseases, including diabetic kidney disease and heart failure. Rasilez acts by directly inhibiting renin, an enzyme that triggers a process leading to high blood pressure. Rasilez is approved in more than 40 countries and is proven to provide blood pressure reductions that last beyond 24 hours[5].Related: Career Track Live [...]
