Don’t Overexplain
🙋Anyone else guilty of this approach? When we're sending information out and not discussing it face to face with the recipient, many of us tend to err on the side of providing too much rather than providing the best evidence. Enneagram 5s and 6s, I'm looking at you and I'm right there with you - the urge to act like a lawyer and build some sort of ironclad defense is strong. 😂
⠀
By providing less information and making sure the most important details are upfront, it's more likely the recruiter or hiring manager is going to take it into consideration, as it's easier to read. Tailoring the resume to the position is going to help them focus on the data that is most compelling.

There are always going to be questions as part of the hiring process, you can't prevent that, but you can present a polished resume and cover letter that ensure they're asking you the right questions.
