What NOT To Do On Your Résumé (S2 - Ep10/20) - a podcast by Julia Toothacre

Resumes for more experienced professionals should look different than early career. You've probably had a few professional experiences, you've made an impact within your organization or industry, you might be managing people, but you aren't in the beginning anymore.

 

Resumes at this level are more often read by humans than machines. You might need to submit and official application through an electronic system or an Application Tracking System, but you have likely been referred for a position or headhunted to apply. In this case, you want to make sure you don't do the following on your resume:

 

1. Don't undervalue your experience

2. Don't focus of menial tasks

3. Don't forget about soft skills

4. Don't make the resume hard to follow

5. Don't get attached to irrelevant experiences
