FIRST, ask does this information listed on the resume show the employer how you:
Are a good fit for the company and would be successful in the role
Meet the qualifications in the job description (knowledge, skills, and abilities)
Accomplished projects or skills to demonstrate your ability
WHY? It makes it easier to find and identify your skills and talents!
Spend time reviewing ALL of your information and comparing it to the list above to make sure it is related to your career goal! Anything else is usually considered “unrelated” or “unneeded.”
Since about 92% of recruiters will view your LinkedIn® account you can simply move the extra information to your account so that they can focus on the MOST IMPORTANT information.
REMEMBER: The other facets of you and your career aren't gone; they are just streamlined.
Extra education, if you have 3 Master’s Degrees, pick the most recent or relevant.
If you have a ton of awards and training, take it off if not related to the job or don’t have space.
If you managed 10 people at one job and 5 people at another you demonstrated that skill, you do not have to demonstrate it again.
If you have four PROGRAM MANAGER Positions at various locations, combine them; or several jobs at the same company, combine them.
BE CRITICAL and ANALYZE. Stop guessing. Once you become a better steward of your information and value, employers will start to notice and consider you more seriously. The resume will get YOU a job, but only if it highlights what the employer needs.
