When bucket-shop recruiters criticize your resume, remember that they don't know crap about doing the work. They are just salescritters trying to sell you, and they don't know how to fit you into one of the boxes that they've got on a shelf. As a hiring manager, I've stopped talking to bucketshops entirely. They may have a bunch of names, but they add zero value beyond that, and are certainly not worth the fee. By all means, list the travel on your resume, list the small projects you've done.
