Signs of the Recession: The Two-Word Resume

By Sara Clemence ⋅ 2:23 pm June 11, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

The feds say that 7 million people have lost their jobs in the recession—which means a hell of a lot of people cussing under their breath as they wrestle with their resumes. Should it be one page? Two? Chronological? Functional? Serif or sans serif?

A person of few words in San Francisco is bypassing all of these problems, with the best C.V. we’ve seen. Forget the “implemented this” and “achieved that.” Ultimately, isn’t this what we’re all trying to say? Hard worker…I’ll bet you are.

  2. A guy at my 10th class reunion wrote in our memory book that for the last 10 years he’d been “hard workin’ and clean livin’”. I guess that’s 5 words, but they still pack a punch.
