Hey guys. I'm in need of help ASAP! I'm doing a group presentation on resumes, and I have a few questions that I cannot find answers to:

1- How should I handle gaps of six months or more in my background?

Depends on the situation. Was it a medical leave? Layoff?

2- What if my job experience doesn't line up well with my career objective?

Try to find some aspect that does. Experience dealing with clients and customers? Leadership experience?

3- How far back should I go in listing my previous jobs and education?

In college, nothing from high school should be listed unless it's something really prestigious. After college, it depends on how long you've been out of college and how relevant the experience is.

4- How important is it to get all of my information on one page?

Very important

5- What if my experience requires more than one page?

In college you probably don't have that much experience, just list the really relevant info or format it differently.

Thank u guys so much! I have to have the answers emailed to my partners tonite!
