Talk to me about your resume. How many pages is it? Do you provide and overview page and then go into more role detail? I’ve received conflicting advice.

1 Page. Overview at the top. Jobs after. College. Awards. Anything longer than 1 page probably won’t be read. Keep it simple and clean and easy to read. There are a lot of resumes out there.

^ I leave out the graduation year. But I’m a freelancer and experience is valued. I guess someone paying attention could figure out that I’m 50+.

I’m 60! Had to take Pan Am, Toys R Us and an ad with a Wayne Gretzky reference out of my book…

1 page. The different accounts I’ve worked on, different agencies, short blurbs about what I accomplished at each, list of awards, college (but not graduation year) and that’s it

I have a tough time with a one page resume since I haven’t always done producing commercials specifically. I try to keep it to two and to make the resume that most suits the job. Maybe I’m wrong but one seems really short for someone not just out of college.

Until I was 40, I did my best to keep it to a one-page (sexy, well designed) PDF. But moving to the brand side back in 2013 made it different. The job titles are different. What you actually do/did is different than just listing Sr. Copywriter, Agency X, 2008-2012. It’s a whole different animal. My resume is 3 pages now with lots of detail that is apparently pretty valuable.

2 pages is ok. But keep it to bullet points for relevant experience to thr job

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions. I struggle to tell if the outcome should be talking through your process/steps (maybe for a question like - how would you go about determining program complexity) vs a specific solution such as create x new product, for x market by x date based on my assumptions. Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?
