(WGN Radio) — Depending on where you live, you may be experiencing some of the coldest days of the season. If you aren't there yet, don't worry — winter technically hasn't even started yet. As you bundle up before heading outside to face Old Man Winter, you may find yourself adding more layers than your kids or even more than when you were a kid.

Working Strategies: In defense of long resumes

Amy LindgrenIt happened again. I was listening to a pretty good interview on career issues when the adviser suggested limiting resumes to the last 10 years, “because no one wants to read a three-page resume.”Which sent me to the internet, just to see what’s happening these days. I was hoping to find studies about the effectiveness of resumes at different lengths, but not very many have been done. Those that have seem to indicate a preference for at least two pages on the part of recruiters and hiring managers.Not surprisingly, some of the studies contradict each other. Less surprising: Most of the studies were undertaken by job boards, resume companies or other not-unbiased groups, using such scientific methods as sending out social media polls.I did run across a pretty interesting compilation of resume data, gathered by Nestor Gilbert, a contributor to FinancesOnline. It’s titled “83 Must-Know Resume Statistics: 2023 Data on Length, Cover Letters & Valuable Statistics,” which p...
