In this episode of The Dream Job Equation, host Ben Passman emphasizes the importance of keeping your resume simple to make sure it catches the eye of recruiters. He shares an anecdote about his friend James who had an overly designed resume with graphics and charts that failed to get any interviews. Ben convinced James to simplify his resume into an easy-to-scan Word doc with bullet points highlighting his skills. Almost immediately, James started getting calls and soon landed a new higher-paying job. The lesson is to treat your resume as a tool to open doors, not a museum piece. Avoid fancy designs and stick to basics like readable fonts, no graphics, concise content, and bullet points. A clean and straightforward resume will help your qualifications stand out when recruiters have just seconds to make an impression. As Ben concludes, “Keep it simple and watch those interview calls roll in!”
