OK OK OK. Please. Job Seekers. You do not need to list every job duty - OR EVEN EVERY JOB - on a blast resume.
1. There are different types of resumes. The first one you submit to an employer should be a snapshot 1-pager of your most RELEVANT (to the job youre applying to) experience, along with a cover letter (the cover letter stands out and helps you explain why you're an actual human being + a good fit for the job) it should also not look like you forgot how formatting works. simple is ok, broken and copypasted from five million different programs is not. this is often the FIRST impression we have of you - make it clean.
2. An expanded resume is one that goes into more detail - this is much more relevant if you're applying for a technical position or one that has an experience requirement. This you can bring with you to an interview, or send in by request if you're shortlisted. this can be multiple pages.
3. If I'm hiring for an office admin position, and your resume states that your objective is to get ahead in the fashion industry, i'm going to reject your application. If you're submitting a hyperspecific resume, make sure it aligns with the job you're applying for. Otherwise, HR thinks you don't actually want the job.
4. Good recruiters will do research. If your resume says you're currently employed at x company, but your linkedin says you stopped working there a year ago, I will blacklist your resume. make sure your shit lines up.
please. im so tired.
