Ranking the WORST Things You Can Have in Your Resume

These are the worst things you can have on your resume, ranked from not so bad to you're never gonna get hired again. And the worst one is not what you think. Number 5 is gaps in your resume. This used to be a lot worse, but the 2020s are the decade of the gap. Everyone has one, you're fine. Number 4, a demotion. Obviously that looks bad. Three is having 20 or more years of experience on your resume. Age discrimination has never been stronger. We need to protect ourselves. Fifteen years is a good cut off. Number two, very difficult to come back from, is job hopping. If you've got three or more jobs that are under 18 months, your staying power is in question. You have a lot of explaining to do.
