Building Your Resume
The One-Page Rule
What you'll learn
- →Accept the one-page rule: nobody reads page two, no exceptions.
- →Learn the three things you can cut to make your story fit: jobs older than 10 years, duties everyone has, anything that doesn't earn its line.
- →Understand that the one-page constraint forces you to pick what matters most.
Proof task
Don't just watch. Do.
Take whatever resume you have right now. If it's longer than one page, cut it to one page tonight. Remove anything that doesn't directly help an employer say yes. The first cut is the hardest. Do it before you sleep.
