And speaking of resumes … Heather wrote a fantastic post last night around the death with the 1 page resume. Here’s what I had to say in Heather’s comments section: Use as many pages as you need to document your experience WHILE still staying concise. I review all resumes online so I can't see page breaks anyway. I think the best resumes are ~2-3 pages because that gives you enough space to provide ample detail without getting long winded. As Heather says,
Office 2010 Home And Student Key, don't worry about documenting ALL your experience, but provide enough detail so I can understand what your accomplishments, skills,
Windows 7 Ultimate Product Key, etc are. A while back, I wrote a publish called A fantastic one-page resume for a technical candidate, and I still stand behind that format when you are applying for a purely technical role. If you look closely at the example I included in that post,
Windows 7, the sample resume is actually two pages long, not one. That’s the idea I’m talking about. It's clean; it's simple; it's concise ... but it's also super, super informative. gretchen P.S. When I originally posted that sample resume, a lot of people came back with comments like,
Microsoft Office Standard 2007, “But I heard education should go last” and “I was told to put technical skills first.” You know what? It really doesn’t matter. This format is a guide, and if your resume is concise (aha,
Office Standard 2010!), then you can put your sections in whatever order you please. ;-)
