What’s a good size for an experienced consultant (11 + years) resume? Is anything beyond a two pager a bad idea? I have hard time to shrink my resume down from my current 4 pages.

I just helped my dad shrink his from 4 down to 2 pages. He has over 20+ years of experience- it can be done, try consolidating, and only keep to high accomplishments of the oldest projects

Thank you. Did you still have the accomplishments separated by projects or just added all of them under one section?

You don't have to include every project.

Only include bullet points that make you attractive for the position you're considering. Nobody on earth needs more than two pages. Just highlight what you've actually done in brief statements and quantify the impact.

Did X by Y resulting in Z. Repeat as necessary.

Thank you

Unethical, unhealthy. I’m looking to apply to other places. Do I put this company on my resume to show I’ve been working since I graduated or is it worse to show I want to leave after only 4 months? Also, absolutely cannot have them contact my current job or use them as a reference. Put them or no?

I’ve been told separate hours is the best way to make sure that you don’t get slapped with co-working, but is there effective strategies to make startup life more livable? 😩😫
