BrevityI have noticed in my job searches if you have had several jobs, By placing the more or most recent jobs only you have a better chance to be read or called. I don' t think many employers want to read your life story just the experience that is relative and enough to get you the job. However if you think information overload is the answer go for it. You may give the employer too much information and they may not call at all or at least not out of curiosity for further questions. Acknowledged rule of thumb is list your employment history starting with most recent and working backwards ten years. If you have worked in your last position for ten years or more, then list that job plus the job you held prior. If you have had multiple jobs within the most recent ten years, you are better off with a functional resume that lists the skills and abilities which make you qualified for the job and the most recent three positions you held that made use of these skills. Anything more than that could make you look like a job hopper and unreliable. And, you should probably get some type of professional assistance with your resume if this is the case. | |
