After securing a first full time job, what are some of the adjustments that need to be made to a resume? Essentially transitioning from the resume of a college student to a young professional with applicable experience? Any tips would be great!

Continue to keep it to one page!
Avoid filler sentences.
Don't put in your job description, put in accomplishments. Pet peeve of mine.
Nothing against Mr.Shelley and others, but I've never used a professional resume service and haven't had any issues getting a good job with my resume so don't feel like it's a must. Use your network, a mentor, and peers to get feedback.

I've a recent client's original 5 page resume. I would welcome the opportunity to share it with you, absent personally identifiable information. I'm most interested in how you would go about culling it by 80%, while still qualifying the candidate. Reach out.
No position warrants a 5 page resume. Those would be client originals... submitted to me. At that many pages why even invite you for an interview? If I were considering the document, as a hiring recipient, I could make my mind up yay/neigh right there. You, as the candidate, don't want that.cjo03 said:JamesPShelley said:

Curious.. what type of position warrants a 5 page resume? One-pagers are tough/rare for experienced hires. But I rarely make it past a 2nd page of a resume. Usually have a pretty solid idea if I'd like to proceed with an interview early into page 2.
