Hello All, I would like to revise my current resume to include most if not all nine temporary positions held from 2 months to 21 months. Should I not mention my 2 mos. 2x of loading delivery trucks, because that is not my forte? Ever since 2015 lay off of a decade of working for same employer in administrative, office assistant and customer service, then and thereafter, most of the temporary positions were interesting and gainful experience. I just want it all perfectly on one page. I am seeking ideas. Please help me. I thank you in advance. Like you, I am striving to do better. You have my best wishes.
In my opinion I would put only 5 positions Ive had. A resume should always be very simple but detailed at the same time! You dont want to add too much on your resume!
Hi Judy - this is a good question. One idea to consider is making a different version of your resume for each different kind of position you're applying for so you have space to highlight the skills and experiences that are most relevant to that position.
That might mean that you don't have room to go in depth for all your positions, but I think that is an acceptable trade off to ensure that the important information is highlighted.
I prefer to focus on quality over quantity. Find the experiences that are most relevant and impactful and leave out the rest so that you don't have this long laundry list for the recruiter to go through
