I’ve seen thousands of resumes in my seven years leading an executive search firm. I’ve seen it all, from the most simplistic to the most detailed resume, from the most organized resume to the most chaotic.
I like to think of resumes as being like the first inning of a baseball game. You cannot win a game in the first inning, but you sure can lose one. Likewise, you cannot “win” a job with your resume, but you can definitely put yourself out of the running.
