Looking for feedback, I'm updating my resume and I'm wondering at what point should I start removing past work experience. I've heard anything older than 10 years should go?

I recently updated mine through a professional resume writer. They cut it off at 15, but, they listed my previous roles in a bulleted summary below the detailed description above as “Additional Experience as” • Division Vice President, [Company Name], [Location], etc.
I really liked that because I had some really important experience earlier than 10 years ago that I didn’t want to leave out if for no other reason for the algorithm sake. Food for thought.

It really depends. How many jobs have you had in the 10 years? If you’ve had 8, then that’s too many jobs. People will look at time frame and number of jobs. So that said, if you have had a large number of jobs in a specific time frame, shorten the list, expand in the ones left really well. The key is to sell yourself on 2 pages or less with the most important stuff first. (Human brain pays the most attention in the beginning and will start to slowly loose interest and attention the further it goes)

Hope this helps

Question my fellow Fish Bowlers♥️ I had a phone screen interview.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement?

Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

I just started with a company as an HR Generalist. Within the 3 weeks of being there, my boss’s boss left, and today I found out my boss gave notice. HR is not valued at the company and it’s disheartening to know I was hired into a mess. I am now actively looking but how do I explain to other employers why I am actively looking and what do I put on my resume? I have never had to deal with this before.

The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
