Amina has worked for the same company for 5 years. During the pandemic, a bunch of her co-workers quit or were laid off. The company made it and is starting to grow again but, in spite of her asking, her boss refuses to hire her some help. She is doing her original job, plus the jobs of 2 other employees who left. When she pointed that out, the boss told her she was paid well (she was given a big raise) and that this was the new expectation of the job. When Patricia started looking for other jobs, she quickly realized she was getting paid way higher than others and that she’d be taking a 30% pay cut if she left. But she’s not sure how much more she can keep up with the 60 hour workweeks and the deadline stress.

10 Ways To Condense Your Resume Without Losing Value

We live in a world where condensed communication is becoming more and more popular.

Social media has created a place where short posts and videos dominate the preferred way to obtain information. Because of that, we feel more pressure to be brief in our communication for time and efficiency. This holds true to resumes too, in recent years the preferred length of a resume has been cut down to only a few pages.

If your resume is long, how could you possibly condense it to a few pages?

Less is more when it comes to resume writing and job seekers tend to add too much “fluff” in their resumes. “Fluff” includes anything from run on sentences to details that are irrelevant. By cutting these unnecessary parts of your resume you will be able to condense your resume into a length that is more acceptable. Recruiters only have so much time in the day to look at resumes, so if you can consolidate all of the important information about yourself, you will have a better chance of moving along in the hiring process.

Here are ten ways you can condense your resume without losing it’s value…
