    After having an oversimplified resume, I spoke with some headhunters and hiring managers and the only thing they told me is to assume that a non-creative is reading your resume. Basically to give details on what you worked on and what you did at each spot. It actually helped me create my new resume and i have been getting way more attention with it.

    • I have a minimal resume, just enough good stuff to get them to invite you in and from there you seal the deal. keep it simple and clean.robotron3k
    • Mine was way too minimal. I wrote it so only a designer type would understand it. Now anyone can get what I do.capn_ron
    • ron you are withholding information not sure if its too late but give it a shot http://www.qbn.com/t…yurimon
    • Also, in US we don't do CVs, so make it one page, have your experience ladder up to show your career growth and don't add a picture, only Europe is image biasrobotron3k

    • The old standard was one page or bust, so I'm curious to hear how this shook out. I'm really not a fan of infographic resumes which seemed to be everywhere.Gucci
    • It is still only one page resume. But I took my last 3 jobs and really broke down exactly what I did. Short versions, but informative.capn_ron
