TRIM THE FAT THEORY AS A TACTIC TO WIN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS.CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE


When it comes to your résumé, it’s important to realize that you only have a small window of time to impress a hiring manager or recruiter. You have to grab your reader’s attention quickly, so you have to be strategic about what you include.
Trimming the fat means you are purging all of the information on your résumé that’s no longer relevant. The rule of thumb is that your resume should represent only the last 10 – 15 years (maximum) of your experience.
If you are listing positions that are no longer relevant to where you’re trying to go, they should be eliminated. If you feel that earlier positions are necessary to show history and consistency of employment, keep the entries very brief and save the space for your more impressive experience.
Keep in mind that it’s no longer a strict requirement to limit your resume to one page. Don’t get me wrong: a one-page résumé is still the way to go for those in the early years of their careers. However, with the average professional history being 3–4 positions or more, two-page résumés are now more typical.
Even with a two-page resume, it is critical to get your reader’s interest within the first few lines of the first page or they likely won’t read any further. That means you must be ruthless about making every word count.
As you go through your résumé, ask yourself: does this information help to position me for my next position or is it filler? Even worse, could it hold me back?

Look at every line with an eye toward making it compelling (see next tips) or cutting it.
