How to Write Work Experience on a Resume?
Before we get to the main question in this article, we are going to address the question that is going on in your mind right now.
The question is -
How long should your resume be?
Before we answer the question directly, we will try to explain your dilemma in a simple situation below-
Let us assume that you write a 2-page resume and the human resource employee at the firm, takes a look at it, and tosses it straight to the trash can thinking, ”ugh that is way too long”.
However, let us assume again that you wrote a one-page resume and the human resource employee at the firm rejects it assuming that you have a lack of experience.
Now do you see your dilemma?
The same question arises in your mind, which one is right??
The answer is a surprising one, both of them are right! Searching on Google that which type of resume will be fine for you is like trying to find the right size for your clothes online.
There can never be a single answer but then again it will only take you a few of your minutes to find out which one is suitable for you.
How to Write Work Experience on a Resume - Questions
i. What kind of resume is suitable for you?
ii. What to keep in mind while writing a multiple page resume?
iii. What to include in the work experience section of your multiple-page resume?
So without further ado let us straight get to our first question.
When you speak of a multiple pages resumes , we only recommend it if you have work experience over 10 years.
Use a two-page resume only if you are extremely experienced or only if your job asks for complete job history. If not, then we recommend
you to stick to a single-page resume. If your resume has
a total of 1.5 pages try trimming it and cutting it down to one page.
