You've been applying for roles, sending out your resume, and… silence.
No calls.
No interviews.
Nothing.
One of my executive clients, with 20+ years of experience, was in the same boat.
She was told to stick to the one-page resume rule.
So she removed 75% of her work experience and only focused on the last 5 years.
Her resume was one page but the story was incomplete.
You may think a shorter resume is always better.
But if you’re leaving out crucial chapters of your career story, the very experience that could make you the standout candidate then is a 1-page resume worth it?
“But won’t a longer resume get overlooked?”
Not if it’s strategically written and showcases your value effectively.
The problem isn’t the length; it’s whether your resume clearly demonstrates the impact you’ve made throughout your career and aligns with the roles you’re targeting.
Here’s the truth:
Your resume is your career’s highlight reel. Why cut out the winning plays?
Ready to finally create a resume that showcases the breadth and depth of your leadership experience and lands interviews?
That’s exactly what we do in our career coaching services.
We don’t just tweak your existing resume; we rewrite it from the ground up, ensuring it works to your advantage. Tap here to book a discovery call with me to get started >> weapply.ca/book-a-consultation
