Avoid Creating “a Franken-Resume” | JobSearchTV.com
Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter discourages you from creating “a Franken-resume.”
Why Should Branding Make a Difference to You?
What is a “Franken-resume?”
It is a hodgepodge from an old resume to something that you it into updated… And the old stuff doesn’t matter anymore. As a result, it is like a Frankenstein resume.
Think about it. If you look back at your resume at the things you did 5 years ago, 10 years ago, does it even matter? What matters about it to people? For example, in some old resumes, someone might have mentioned that they “mastered email.” 20 years ago, that mattered. Do you think anyone cares today that you mastered email?
Your resume may have some of that old, legacy kind of comments in it and you haven’t looked at in today’s context. All you have been doing for years is probably one update on top of another, haven’t changed the tenses on the old information to the past tense, and now today you have a Franken-resume.
Before you send a resume out to people, if you have updated it with new information, start at the very end of your resume and work your way forward. You will be more patient with yourself. If you do it that way that if you work from the top and work your way back in time. Trust me. I’ve seen so many people do this and it works much better.
Again, make sure your resume isn’t a hodgepodge of antiquated stuff that makes you look obsolete anyway. Pay attention to what is written. Change the tenses and update it well.
