How long probably depends on how recent your last update was. Mine was last updated a year ago and it took me 3-4 hours including a review+edits with a friend when I recently updated it.

First version way back in the day took me a couple of hours to make perfect, then every time I make an update takes just a few minutes.

I will make minor tweaks here and there from time to time, but the bulk of my resume hasn't changed in quite a while, so even when I add a new position on there it only takes a few minutes to add the relevant bullet points.

10 hours end to end if I started with a blank sheet. But that includes seeking feedback from others + self review.

3 months 7 partner reviews some brutal feedback and a lot of writing and thinking

Lol they all agreed to provide feedback

Off and on since I became a consultant in 2007. In addition to frequent updates, I have completely reformatted it multiple times.

I recommended a candidate for hire to a manager that reports directly to me. This person is a perfect match, but wanted the manager to obviously recommend. It has to be a fit.

Do I push more for the person I want or will I cause an issue with the hiring manager? How do I get her to see this person’s value?
