Critique My Resume? Forum

[canuckabroad]

Getting it down to one page is progress, but it still needs to be streamlined more. For example here's a quick mock-up I did of the work section, cutting out the URLs, superfluous locations, etc although you could definitely cut it down more if needed (let me know if you want me to remove the image from my post after you've seen it in the interest of privacy):


Try limiting yourself to four sections: education, work experience, awards and honors, and either extracurricular/volunteer activities OR personal interests -- that should force you to focus on what's most important.

ETA: You really can't ask people to ignore formatting when critiquing your resume because formatting is an essential component -- the whole point of a resume is to illustrate your background in a professional, easily digestible way.

Very helpful. I've saved this image and will use it when I go back through today. You can remove now, thanks!
