How much information do you put on your resume for each position? I see resumes with too much information and some that almost have nothing. Not a creative so I’m not linking to a portfolio

If a brief is one page, a resume is one page.

Your job as a strategist is to distill complex information and communicate it simply. Let your resume be another proof point you can do that.

If a brief is one page? Lmao

The resume is there for 3 reasons:
1. Show career trajectory. This is done through titles, increased responsibility, managing more people, more impactful projects/brands
2. Provide an easy for verification that you have the righ background or experience for the job an employer is looking to fill
3. Provide seeds to spark further conversation when you get to the interview

You don’t need a ton of info to do that. Employer and title and a couple of high level bullet points. It doesn’t have to be a comprehensive history of everything you’ve done. Too much info just becomes impossible to get through.

The only thing a resume does for me is agree to meet. I want/need to know that a potential hire is a) a good fit, and b) smart and interesting

Go nuts if you’re talking about something online like a website or linked in... in those contexts it’s less about someone reading it and more about people looking for people like you (search terms)
