#38) What Experience Should I Cut from My Resume? | Just Ask Chris #6

This is another Just-Ask-Chris minisode where I try and answer a commonly asked job seeker question in under 10 minutes! Today, we discuss what experience you should remove from your resume. Core concepts in the podcast episode:The resume as a marketing piece vs. the all encompassing document. Look to the job postings! This is golden rule #1 because you'll have no direction whatsoever.Why you should cut out fluff and where to start looking.Your summary probably sucks.Favor accomplishments over experiences. It's okay to talk about descriptions but do be specific and not vague. Show context. Start looking at older experiences with suspicion...if you're going to include stuff, keep it super short (AND MAKE SURE IT'S relevant in the first place).Resources:Blog: How to write a great summary statement: https://medium.com/@Resume_Doctor/resumes-creating-a-summary-statement-that-wins-interviews-5626843ef224Podcast Episode: How long should your resume be?: https://shows.pippa.io/job-seekers-podcast/episodes/9-how-long-should-your-resume-be-just-ask-chris-minisode-1 Hosted on Acast.
