Job experience on resume   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #344 of 443 |
I am just getting started seriously on a job hunt looking toward early
next year. At this point I will be staying within the same overall
field but will be switching back to the private sector as the college I
teach at is eliminating my major at the end of this calendar year. One
of my first steps is the coversion of my academic CV to a resume and I
have a question about how much to include of my job experience. I have
worked both in the private sector and academia for 20 years and have
held a 9 jobs, a couple of which are internships or "second" jobs...all
relate to my main profession. If I include them all then I will
definitely have more than a page of information just on job
experiences...is this a "no-no"? If so how do I sort which to keep
and which to eliminate? I have been working my way through your "The
Elements of Resume Style" which has been very helpful. Thanks!

Okay I understand the concept of "keep if it adds to your pitch" but what do you do when you want to leave a job out and then there is a gap? Sorry to belabor...
