There’s nothing worse for employers than receiving a resume the size of a thesis. While you may think that listing every high school award you received showcases your achievements, to those perusing your resume this wastes valuable time.
It’s always good to remember that you’re not the only one going for the job. Your six-page resume is just another brick in a wall of applications that employers need to get through. Before they even start thinking about who to call for an interview, they’ll cull depending on how your resume looks – and often the length.
