I would be perfect for it?\u201d\u00a0 In this issue, we will look at issues related to extraneous information.<\/p>\n<p>There is a tendency for job seekers to want to put EVERYTHING they have done on the job in the r\u00e9sum\u00e9. This is not good for several reasons \u2013 it make for an overcrowded r\u00e9sum\u00e9 , \u00a0recruiters are not going to read every detail \u2013 they are skimming for key qualifications to show that you have the right background; they skim for red flags, and they seek to understand your major accomplishments as related to the job. Too much info can prevent the recruiter from really understanding your strengths and your potential value to the organization. And, they may miss the more important pieces that you want them to notice.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Do you have too much detail? then take a hard look at the r\u00e9sum\u00e9 \u00a0to streamline for major responsibilities and key contributions<\/li>\n<li>Do you have long lists of credentials, publications, speaking engagements? You may be better serviced by listing these on a separate \u201cAddendum\u201d page; on the r\u00e9sum\u00e9 \u00a0itself, you could say \u201cSee Addendum for detailed listing of publications\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Is some of your earlier career history relevant to the job and you want to position it more prominently? Perhaps you should consider an \u201cExecutive Summary Page\u201d with a strong profile related to this objective and include a highlighted section from your earlier career, followed by the \u201cregular\u201d r\u00e9sum\u00e9.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope these ideas are helpful!
