I once spent an hour debating if I should remove one line from my resume, only for the hiring manager to tell me they barely read it. Do you also obsess over small resume details that no one notices?

I think most people do but over time resumes are mattering less and less. Don’t sweat it. Move on

Yes - I’ve done this many times. The third bullet of a past job doesn’t matter. 😂 I barely read it. But I still stress over it.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?
