Is your resume committing this interview-killing mistake?
There’s a simple logic to resumes – those that look difficult to read won’t get read. Those that don’t get read don’t generate interviews. The usual culprit is too much information.
In today’s highly competitive job market, your resume needs to get your value across in two pages with clear and compelling content. Don’t make the mistake of providing too many details about anything you did.
Instead, use just a few words to prove why an initiative you led mattered to your company such as: “Spearheaded process improvement initiative that reduced cycle times by 20%, leading to immediate market share increase of 10%.” This approach is more likely to make the reader say, “Wow! I need to know more,” than a block of boring text that makes the reader work hard to even find out the point of your work. You might think that a lot of information is necessary to explain your value, but in most cases, it just means the “no” pile.
