Hey Career Warriors, need a dose of inspiration? Today, we decided to do something a bit different. As you know the Career Warrior Podcast is chock full of strategies and techniques to help you get noticed. But without a strong dose of motivation, your job search will fall flat. 

We did a special episode with motivational as well strategic words of wisdom from some hall of fame podcast guests. Plug in your headphones, go for a walk and listen to this episode as you think. Do it once. Do it twice. And this is my advice. Keep moving forward.

Today we have a minisode where I try and answer common questions in a concise episode. I went back on Reddit, in which my love/hate relationship has never been seen before on the internet. And I’m going to answer the HOTTEST Reddit Questions that were asked on Reddit. 

And man these questions are hot. 

They are so hot, in fact, my friends at Sriracha are cowering in fear. These questions are so hot: Nelly had to write a song about it in 2002. These questions are so hot that Leonardo Di Caprio and George Clooney had to take a lesson out of their book. These questions are so hot, that my fellow Texans stopped complaining about this miserable summer. 

You’ll hear questions like

• It is okay to say you left a job due to personal issues?
• Storytelling - how do you incorporate it?
• How do I stand out?
• Is it okay to lie on job responsibilities?

I’m Chris Villanueva, the host of this podcast and co-founder of Let’s Eat, Grandma, a resume service designed to help job seekers get more interviews. 

Listen up. You’re probably including too much on your resume. 

Yes, you. I’m actually talking to you. Because you are an accomplished son of a gun who has done a lot in your career. You’re listening to this podcast because you’re a go-getter. You’re listening to this podcast because you are a career warrior. And that comes with a risk, which is the likelihood that you have too much on your resume. 

Well, today we’re going to discuss why you should only include 10% of yourself on your resume, and how that will ironically make you stand out. I sat down again with David Fano, serial entrepreneur and former WeWork executive. His latest venture, Teal, helps people optimize their job search by providing the level of tooling and infrastructure that companies have but for the individual professional. In just over a year, Teal has grown to a community of over 65,000 users committed to advancing their careers.
