This document summarizes 5 common myths about resume writing and provides guidance to avoid common mistakes. It advises that resumes should typically be 1-2 pages unless extensive experience warrants more pages. It also recommends including a qualifications summary instead of a generic objective statement and using achievement-oriented language to demonstrate value rather than simply listing responsibilities. While recent experience is most important, early career experience can be included if strategically relevant. Lastly, it states that personal information generally should not be included on a resume.

2. Myth #1: Résumés should be only one, or at the most, two pages.
In most cases, this is true. It is the rare reviewer of résumés
who, when being completely honest, will tell you that he or
she spends more than a few seconds in the first review of a
résumé. Unless your résumé captures immediate attention
through an eye-appealing design and succinct, compelling
language, your résumé will be screened out after just 15
seconds.
With this reality in mind, imagine the thoughts of the
reviewer when he or she receives a four- or five-page
résumé, with another 100 résumés waiting for review right
behind it. Clearly, the odds of your résumé capturing
attention and being read increase when the length is limited
to one or two pages.
3. Are there exceptions to this rule? Absolutely!
While it is true that with each additional page you reduce your

important
chronology of the career history and education. What is left is a
boring listing of companies, positions, and dates that are
virtually guaranteed to turn off the reader and land
your résumé in the circular file.
4. A better strategy is to write your résumé with exactly as much detail and
description as is needed to persuasively convince the reader that you are the
ideal candidate to solve his or her problems – to compel the reader to pick up
the phone and call you for an interview. While this is sometimes a difficult
balance to strike, you should review and edit your résumé with a very
discriminating eye toward reducing unnecessary wordiness.

summaries, associations and memberships, etc. – can often be included in an

use succinct, dynamic, action-oriented
language to convey your ability to add value to the reader’s company
the résumé,
and you will capture and hold attention through three or even more pages.
5. Myth #2: All résumés should include a clearly stated objective.
It is essential that your résumé is audience-focused – it must succinctly
communicate that you understand the employer’s needs and that you
are uniquely qualified to meet those needs.
While the use of an objective is a
controversial issue, at its basis, an
objective tells the reader what you want
from him or her (focused
on
YOUR needs rather than the
employers’).
6. A popular and often more effective alternative to
the objective, the qualifications summary, allows
you to establish focus for the r?um?while
summarizing the key qualifications and value you
offer the employer. This is a subtle but critical
difference – one that may weigh heavily in opening
the door to an interview. While an objective is both
appropriate and effective in some cases, for
example, career changers or new graduates with
little or no work experience in the targeted field,
experiment with the qualifications summary as a
strong alternative.
7. Myth #3: Résumés should thoroughly describe the responsibilities of each position.
The absolute most important element of your résumé
is your value proposition. Your unique
ability to solve business problems, meet challenging
goals, and produce desired results should be the focus
of your qualifications summary (see above) and this
focus should be supported by proof throughout your
career. How better to do this than through
achievement-oriented, results-focused descriptions of
your career history?
8. While employers and recruiters will want to know the scope of your position
(number of direct reports, amounts of budgets managed, areas of management
authority, etc.) this is most effectively communicated within the context of the
challenges you faced, the actions you took, and the results of your actions.
“Responsibilities” only tell the reader what you were supposed to do,
not what you actually did do. Use powerful, active
language to concisely tell the reader the “story”
behind your most recent or relevant positions. By
documenting your consistent ability to produce
results and solve problems you will demonstrate
your ability to produce similar results in the future.
9. Myth #4: Résumés should include only the last ten years of experience.
Content of your résumé should be
strategically selected to support your focus
and value proposition. While it is true that
readers of your résumé will be most
interested in your most recent experience,
there is often value in including experience
further back in your history.
Perhaps your early career includes work for
well-known, prestigious companies.
Perhaps you want to document the full
scope of your cross-industry experience,
much of which occurred in your early
career. Perhaps you believe some valuable
networking opportunities may come out of
your experience 15 or 20 years ago.
10. Or perhaps your most impressive accomplishments were in a position
you held 12 years ago. In any case, if your career history is lengthy, it
will be apparent to the reader that your career did not suddenly
materialize ten years ago, so there is little harm and many benefits to
summarizing this early experience. Of course, this does not mean that
you must give equal page weight to your early career.
If you feel early dates will be used to
screen you out, subtly leave them out of
your early career summary. If some early
career positions have more strategic
relevance than others, give them more
emphasis in your summary. Think carefully
about the content of your résumé. If there
is solid reasoning behind your desire to
present early experience, than do so.
11. Myth #5: Résumés should include personal information, to indicate the
many dimensions to your life and interests.
There is no way to predict the
personal biases of the individuals
who will read your résumé. The
first and primary way that an
employer uses a résumé is to
screen candidates out; don’t give
them any reason! Professional
memberships and related
volunteer work should often be
included but religious affiliations,
family status, social club
memberships, and hobbies have
no place on a résumé.
12. The only exception to this is when you are preparing a résumé specifically
written to appeal to a single individual who you are absolutely certain would be
fascinated in your piloting license or passion for golf. Even then, be careful;
you never know where your résumé will be passed. However, if you are certain
that your personal information will help you to break the ice and build rapport,
you may have a valid reason for including it.
