Bullets or paragraphs
So, I'm trying to condense my resume (from 3pgs to 2pgs). Some of the advice I've gotten is to go from bullet points to paragraphs instead. So my question to all of you is this:
When describing your jobs, do you use bullet points, descriptive paragraphs, or both?
Right now, I have bullet points for all of my jobs. I would like to make at least some of them into paragraphs, but maybe keep the bullets for the two most recent postions. Whatcha think of that?
Also, let's do a poll:
How many pages is your resume?
How many years experience do you have on there?
When do you start to delete your earliest job from your resume?
Example: I graduated from college in '97. I still have on my resume the job I had directly after graduation. It's older than 5 years, but it also lists some good experience. Take it off or keep it? At what point do you get rid of jobs?
