De-Crowd Your Resume, Increase Your Chances of Getting a Job

For those of you who have the not-so-terrible “problem” of too much information on your resume, this blog is for you.  A lot of people think, hey, how can this be a problem?  A lot of work experience should work in my favor, right?  The short answer is sometimes yes, and sometimes no.

If you’re an undergraduate student, then yes, having a lot of work experience definitely works in your favor.  But it’s not likely that all of your work experience is relevant to the kinds of jobs and internships you’re applying for to build your career.  We can definitely show you how to shape your resume based on the position you’re applying to, and it’s something you can learn to do easily as well.  Essentially, the kind of jobs you’ll be applying to are going to be entry-level positions that require a one-page resume, so start editing.

The only way you can get away with a resume that’s more than one page long is if you’re applying for a non-entry-level position and if your resume is AT LEAST one and a half pages long.  A page and a quarter just won’t do.  

Have a great weekend,
