I’m a SaaS AE with 4 years of sales and sales recruiting experience. I’m revamping my resume and sadly due to 2 startup layoffs in the last 15 months I’ve had 3 roles.

How many job experiences on your resume is too many? How far back should I go to share my professional experience?

Any advice is appreciated!

You don't need to go back more than three years. Try to keep your resume at one page, put the most relevant experience on it.

Try to include positions where you had at least one year of experience if possible.

Include your certificates and licenses if any. You should at least go back to two years, never more than three though. Good luck with your resume!
