Keeping your resume concise and focused on relevant experience is important, especially for recent graduates or those with less than 10 years of work experience. A one-page resume highlights your most valuable skills and achievements without overwhelming the employer. By keeping it short and to the point, you make sure that hiring managers get the key information they need at a glance. ✍️🗒️

Sharing my last updated resume

Here is my recent updated resume

Despite popular opinion, your resume can (and probably should) be more than one page. If you're anyone other than a new college grad with less than 3 years of work experience, aim for 2-3 pages. Most importantly... ☑ keep the details you want the recruiter to see near the top ☑ if you've led a team, add the # of people on the team ☑ arrange all bullets by impact & job relevancy ❓ Question for the comments: what's at the top of your resume?

Have you ever wondered why you're not hearing back after submitting your CV? It could be the way you are presenting your qualifications and experiences lacks punch. Remember, employers don't just buy skills, they buy solutions. Showcase how you have solved problems in your career on your CV. Use numbers where possible to quantify your achievements. Get ahead in the job search game with a meticulously built CV! Don't know where to start? I'm just a message away.

Wondering whether to emphasize your education or your work experience on your resume? Here are some tips: -If you have one or more jobs in your field, emphasize your experience over your education. -If you've recently graduated and are new to your field, with little or no work experience in the field, prioritize your education on your resume. -When in doubt, think about which seems most relevant to your ability to do your job well: your work experience or your education. Whichever one tells the most about your capabilities to do the job you're applying for, give that the higher priority.

Everything you need to know about resume length and why: ONE PAGE Good for people with 5 years or less of experience. This includes recent graduates, students, and career changers. TWO PAGES Good for mid-career professionals with 10–15 years of experience, or those applying for leadership positions. This length allows you to summarize longer-term roles and accomplishments. THREE PAGES Good for people with 25+ years of related experience, or those in fields like academia or medicine. You may want to consider a CV instead of a resume. Proceed with caution if you have a resume this long and don’t fit this criteria. MORE THAN 3 PAGES Hire somebody to help you slim down your resume. It’s too long.

I have to share this excellent resource. From my experience, Sadie Said's superpower is their ability to help others read an audience. If you need a boost in confidence to write your best ever resume, start here:

If you have the experience a job is asking for in the required or desired qualifications it should be on clearly stated on your resume. I’ve talked to so many incredible individuals this year and through those conversations they clearly showed that they have the experience for the job they expressed interest in, only to apply and not have that same experience on their resume or have it expressed in a way that isn’t clear or can be misinterpreted. Articulating your experience on your resume as it pertains to the job is essential when applying. Don’t leave your experience up for interpretation. Speak the same language as the job posting and make your resume a true indicator of your ability to do the job.
