Ep59: 5 signs of a bad resume. Avoid these mistakes.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses the five signs of a bad resume and emphasizes the importance of regularly updating and improving your resume.
Key Highlights
๐ The lack of a clear career story in a resume can hinder a candidate’s ability to effectively communicate their progression and growth.
๐ฏ A focused resume that highlights relevant skills and experiences is essential to attract the attention of hiring managers and recruiters.
๐ Keeping the resume concise and avoiding unnecessary information is crucial for maintaining the reader’s interest and understanding.
๐ Clearly articulating achievements and impact in the resume helps hiring managers better assess a candidate’s potential value.
๐ While templates may seem appealing, it is important to prioritize clean formatting and readability over fancy designs.
๐ Regularly updating and improving the resume, regardless of job search status, can lead to better career opportunities and a clearer understanding of one’s value.
๐ Taking action to improve the resume is more productive than complaining on social media about not getting job interviews.
