Miss Marple Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 I'm updating my resume in order to apply for a new job. I'm a hospital based pharmacist and that's the only kind of pharmacy I've ever done. While there have been updates in technology, my actual day to day chores have changed somewhat, it's all just about the same. So my resume is 3 pages long! And at each job listed, the same duties are listed. So it's very repetitious - and 3 pages long! Is there a proper way to condense it? Can I condense the older (1990s) jobs by saying something like "typical hospital pharmacist duties including but not limited to...." 3 pages is just too long and boring IMO. Oh, and how do I header subsequent pages especially if the page breaks inside one position (ie, the job duties continue on the next page)?

EKS Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 If you google "resume for older workers" you'll find several articles that discuss this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwalker Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Yes, the last 15 years are the main thing, be brief about the older stuff. Some articles say to leave off the old stuff to evade age discrimination, but the education part often gives that away anyway. (I'm older and resume making, too.)
