Interview Tips

Administrative Assistant

Hello, Is it bad to have a lot jobs on your resume? I have like 7 jobs but they were all contract positions, which I put next to jobs that they were contract. But is it a bad thing on resume?

    Was it the same field and you had the same role? It depends how it’s presented, you don’t want to word vomit everything down on a page. You could maybe pull out and summarise key experiences and your skills from then list out companies for their awareness. For example I used to do this for the plethora of retail positions I had throughout high school so it didn’t take up too much space on the CV

    I agree with above. Just summarise contracts/projects etc but dont need the entire job description on there

    Too much exp is not bad, but leave out if it’s very short. Highlight that these were contract roles and highlight accomplishments. Don’t go beyond 7 years. Remember resume is not a CV! Your only job is getting an interview and highlighting your experience
