“I was talking to a friend who saw my resume. He's been telling me to remove my education from my resume to fit the one page format. Also, that it's making me look like a student and not a professional. I've been applying back in nyc. I have about six restaurants across a 12 year span of cooking so I thought it makes sense to have a lengthier resume contingent upon time spent in a career.

“What are you applying for? CEO? That opening is very praiseworthy but what does it mean to the position you are applying for? The intro to your resume should be a short description about why you are good for the position.”

“I thought to highlight the metrics to show the impact. Should I remove all bold numbers and write it normally?”
“I want to know who you are, what you do and what value you can bring within the first 30 seconds of seeing your CV. I’ve had to go looking for that here, and I’m still not entirely sure.

“Take out the bolding of words. If I saw that I’d skip your resume assuming AI wrote it without you reviewing it. That’s all I saw and wrote my comment. Didn’t bother to read further because 90% likely it’s slop.”

“That is a good question. It all depends on what and how you portray yourself. Ideally, it should be the space/document that represents you. A well written resume/CV can do wonders. I've applied to hundreds of jobs and worked in the fast pace startup space, and have learnt how and what to include, to increase the chances of standing out, showing your trueself, or even more! Happy to help if you DM. Can also review your CV for quick feedback :)”
“Yeah I think im going to change it back because that’s how my undergrad had us format it. Thank you for the feedback!”
