  1. On my last resume, near the end, I was feeling a little punchy. The resume, being what it was, was comprised of quite a few bullets. So, the last item under Interests (or whatever I called that section) was ‘Making bullet lists’. It was the last thing on a 2 page resume and, honestly, I didn’t expect a hiring manager to even get that far and, if they did, I hoped they’d at least crack a smile and be able to figure out that it was mostly there as a bit of levity.

  2. Hi, jadeflix.

    Save levity for an appropriate moment during your interview. Your resume is not the place for it.

    Also, there are lots of us who don’t like two-page resumes.

    Kisses,
    Hiring Manager D.
