Don’t limit yourself to a one-dimensional career. Embrace the possibility of a rewarding future.
The traditional résumé forces people to condense their entire life’s work into a quickly digestible and increasingly keyword-searchable document. Rather than showcase your achievements and skills, a résumé is one-dimensional and feels more like an epitaph on a tombstone. About 24% of hiring managers spend fewer than 30 seconds looking at a résumé, according to CareerBuilder, an employment website.
A one-dimensional career focuses only on your skill set and loses sight of your true value and achievements. We need to take a three-dimensional approach by celebrating our careers and accomplishments. Your résumé should highlight your contributions to employers, co-workers and society.
