In this episode, I share some tips about resume length, content, and structure, based on my own experience as a hiring manager, and based on feedback from a few professional recruiters who graciously shared their thoughts. 

Let’s face it - writing your resume can feel like the worst experience, especially for those early in their careers.

• How do you reflect your experience when you’ve just graduated? 

  
  



• How do you avoid sounding like you're bragging about yourself? 

  
  



• Do you say “I” or do you say “we”? 

  
  



• Should it be 1 page or 2 pages? 

  
  



• Education listed first or last?

  
  



• Personal bio?

  
  



• Objective statement?

  
  



• Headshot?

  
  

We all find ourselves asking countless questions like these and receiving endless advice from our parents, professors, peers - the list of people who have opinions to share is endless. So let’s add amateur podcasters to the list. 

While I may not have spent my career in recruiting, I have reviewed literally thousands of resumes as a hiring manager in small and large companies, and I happen to be friends with a few very talented professional recruiters who shared their thoughts with me as I was preparing for this episode.
