Resume advice is nonsense. I’ve been told by recruiters that I shouldn’t have removed irrelevant positions because every bit counts. And I’ve been told by recruiters it’s a good idea to remove irrelevant positions because it’s just clutter.
I’ve always kept my resume 1 page long and remove jobs or line items that dont add much. I’ve had recruiters and managers praise my resume for being so compact and others complain that there are gaps or that it’s kindof selling myself short.
It’s all just the whims of whichever middle manager ultimately looks at it. The real advice is to make a resume that gets past the algorithms by rephrasing slightly to include keywords from the job description, and then just cross your fingers that your format happens to align with their preference.
