On resume, worth writing out “year-over-year” or YoY okay? Know we’re meant to avoid acronyms

No acronyms unless you used it prior and noted it.

Ex: Year-over-year (YoY)
Then you can proceed with YoY

The best guidance is to avoid acronyms though and keep it as simple as possible.

Also, food for thought, some companies receive thousands of resumes. Many will use programs to scan resumes for key words/phrases. Be careful with acronyms since the program may not be designed to catch it, thus leaving you out of the running. I’m unaware of any consulting firms using this technology, but know lots of F500 comp idea will use this!
