Question about resumes...

[RayP]

So at what point is a job too old and far back to put on your resume? My friend wanted to put a part time contract job from 10 years ago on her resume, and I said it was a bad idea.

Then we realized if he didn't put that on there her resume for the last 10+ years would literally be blank. What would you suggest she do?

Probably create an Internet chat forum where you can spam Mongolian catchphrases and times that podcasts start for the next 10-15 years before you inherit your parents wealth

My friend Mr. P tried listening his freelance personal training work on his resume as if people cared about his non- work related interests.

What was the job 10 years ago and how did she survive for ten years unemployed?

In other words... "Hi my name is Ray and I am wondering if I should keep a part-time contract job on my resume from 10+ years ago".

Lmao

Is your friend a hermaphrodite? You refer to your friend as "her" and "he". Anyways, sounds like your friend is either homeless or living off a significant other, either way, having a good resume is not needed.

True you’re more of an “it” with the weird stuffed animal obsession.

I think this person may want to put any non traditional employment work in his resume to pad it out a little.

Got my close friend who ran my moderator campaign banned, admitted to this, then six months later started lying about it again without ever coming up with a semi coherent version of events that exonerated me.

In my line of work, employment gaps on a resume are red flags unless you have a very good explanation (health concerns/pregnancy/etc). I used to be in a different (i.e. not at all applicable to my current career) line of work. I still list it on my resume in order to not leave employment gaps, but I certainly don't waste any more precious space on elaboration.

A ten-year employment gap is very significant, so I am assuming she had children or something (not that it's my business or anything).

@G F O P does have a lot of children. I think @tonyhawks77 has a picture of his family he can share.

I usually find you painfully unfunny but this was hilarious
