Madeline Mann, a career coach, emphasized that a résumé should resemble a sales page rather than a Wikipedia page, stressing the importance of providing clear, relevant information to employers.
A study by LiveCareer revealed that the average length of résumés has nearly doubled between 2018 and 2023, indicating a trend where job seekers add more sections and details to showcase qualifications.
James Neave noted that the word count of résumés has increased by about 40% since August 2021, attributing this to the tendency of job seekers to include all relevant keywords from job descriptions.
Experts warn that overly detailed résumés can make it difficult for employers to locate the information they need, essentially turning the résumé into a 'treasure hunt' rather than a straightforward assessment of qualifications.
