When crafting ✏️ your resume, it’s tempting

When crafting ✏️ your resume, it’s tempting to leave off certain details in hopes that a potential employer won’t notice 👀. Maybe it’s the graduation 🧑‍🎓 date from your degree or a job you held for a short period of time ⏲️. You might think that leaving something off will save you from being judged or overlooked for the position. However, this approach can actually make more of a negative impression than you’d expect.⁠
⁠
Instead of protecting your chances, leaving key information off your resume can raise red flags 🚩for employers.

Follow our 🔗 in bio as to why being transparent is essential and how it can actually improve your chances of landing that job.⁠
