Resumes anyone?
I’m not quite 40 yet, 39 currently, and I have certainly seen this major shift. It’s almost as if having more than 7 years experience on a resume is creating an impossible hurdle now. Despite any accolades or accomplishments. I’ve heard more, “you’re over qualified…” and “we’re looking for experience in ‘toasters’ do you have that?” And that’s if I hear anything at all. So, here’s my resume attached. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/6410cc7a7b2f865e04a2ef0e/t/692df304070d421b4326fc2d/1764619012529/ChrisWojcicki-Resume.pdf Ive removed all design elements from it so it’s just a straight forward black and white resume. Of which I’ve also been told by many at this point, that this is the way to go. Curious about people’s thoughts, comments, and I’d be interested and happy to review anyone else’s that is willing to share.

@Tim Donza thank you. Your tips are super helpful and I’ll definitely be putting them to use! And these two things are just my opinion as well based on hiring designers, strategists, and producers. After reading through yours, and thank you again for sharing, if there are any concrete examples you can share for each bullet point or for just some of them. Like the GoodRX bullet; perhaps including a line from the messaging that came out of the structure you set up as a recognizable proof point. It’s the conversation starter in me of course, but something like that would make me want to dive in on it with you. And the designer in me wants you to push the “early career” subheading to the top of the second page.
