Have some burning resume questions on your mind? So do many of my recent clients! Here are some questions I’ve been answering lately with my answers:
- Can my resume really be more than 1-page long? Yes! Most of my clients with more than 5-7 years of experience have a 2-page resume. This is standard these days. My executive-level clients often have 3-4-page resumes.
- Is there a set number of bullets I should include under each role? No. I would say aim for having 4 bullets to start, and it’s perfectly acceptable to have significantly more for your most recent and/or senior-level role. I care very little about having an equal number of bullets per position because not all positions are equal - one role might have been entry-level and lasted 18 months, while another role might be manager-level and lasted 4 years.
- Do I have to include every role on my resume? Nope! For example, if you made a complete career pivot 10 years ago to teaching after working as an insurance agent for 7 years, you can consider removing the insurance positions unless you plan on moving into the insurance sector again. Or, if you are a Lyft driver on the side while also working at a non-profit, you can consider removing from your resume unless it supports your case (i.e. your time management, work ethic, customer service skills with a diversity of stakeholders). My go-to strategy is to create an “Additional Experience” section at the bottom of resumes to simply list less relevant and/or early career experiences without any bullets. This honors the breadth of your work history without dedicating much space on your resume.
- How do I write about fellowships or part-time consulting jobs on my resume? Similar to my answer above, consider a separate section on your resume to list out leadership, consulting, and fellowships. Either name it “Additional Experience” or get creative with headers like: “Leadership and Community Involvement” or “Consulting and Leadership Development”. If your consulting or leadership fellowship is actually more relevant/current than your full-time professional work, you can consider including it as part of your overall professional experience and simply list it in chronological order. There is no right or wrong way to approach this - consider the roles you’re applying to and the story you’d like to communicate about your experience and capacity to perform those roles.
- I don’t have access to data from my last job - how do I quantify my results? First, have you exhausted options like reaching out to former colleagues who may have access and be open to sharing that data? If not, it’s ok to ballpark data (i.e. “over 300 attendees”) or share context “increased the number of participants between 2020 and 2021 through the following strategies….”). You can also write bullets highlighting the kinds of feedback you received from managers or stakeholders (i.e. “consistently recognized by senior leadership for my unique ability to build consensus and generate buy-in during large, cross-functional meetings”).
- My work was highlighted in the media on several occasions - where does that information belong? If you have significant media mentions (whether interviews, or your own contributions to publications), consider a “Notable Media and Recent Presentations” section on your resume.
- My job title doesn’t accurately describe my role. What should I do about that? I love this question! You can either consider putting the more recognizable job function in parenthesis next to the actual title (i.e. Office Manager (Human Resources Specialist)), or in the bullets, consider writing “Served in the capacity of Human Resource Specialist, processing all new hire paperwork, developing and leading onboarding, and managing company-wide benefits.”
