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.
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.
