I just received a resume.

``As a candidate for the position I have a Mechanical Engineering
degree and about 2.54 years experience doing technical writing and
3.79 years experience doing some engineering and CAD.''


He works to three significant figures. He's an engineering
traditionalist. Hire him. g


Maybe he just rounded it to the nearest week.

2 yrs + 28 weeks for the writing ~= 2.54 years
3 yrs + 41 weeks for the Eng/CAD ~= 3.79 years

I'd interview him if the rest of it looks good.
