Ep77: One page resume is a problem. Here's WHY.
In this episode, Mei Phing discusses the importance of a well-crafted resume and highlights the issues with a one-page resume that is overcrowded with irrelevant information. Emphasizes the need for simplicity, clear value positioning, and understanding the hiring manager’s perspective.
Key Highlights
🧐 Many job seekers underestimate the importance of simplicity in their resumes and focus too much on fancy templates.
💡 It is crucial to consider the hiring manager’s perspective when crafting a resume, as they are busy and need clear value propositions.
📝 The laundry list syndrome, where job seekers try to include everything on one page, leads to a cluttered and confusing resume.
📈 A well-structured resume with clear value positioning can significantly improve job search outcomes and attract attention from hiring managers.
✅ Getting feedback from a hiring manager or a career coach can provide valuable insights and help refine a resume for better results.
📚 Many online resume templates prioritize beauty over functionality and may not effectively showcase a candidate’s real value.
🎯 To stand out in a competitive job market, job seekers should focus on highlighting their relevant achievements and how they can contribute to a potential employer’s success.
