In this episode Sarah discusses the common misconception that your resume should only be one page long

06:01 When your resume reads like just an overview of your previous responsibilities, it makes it hard for you to stand out.

07:35 If you’ve received feedback from someone that your resume should only be one page, ask them why!

09:36 I’ve seen so many people in my programs expand their resume to two pages and quickly start getting interviews
