Former Google exec Jenny Wood shares three resume red flags to avoid.
First, don’t list over five bullet points under any role, as long lists suggest you lack prioritization skills. “It tells me you don’t know how to separate the important from the unimportant,” she says.
Second, avoid overloading your resume with links. While showcasing projects and metrics is helpful, too many links make resumes hard to read.
Lastly, avoid cramming too much information. White space is crucial for readability and demonstrates good judgment. “Spacing creates visual hierarchy,” Wood notes, ensuring your resume is digestible and professionally presented.
