Résumés communicate a lot about us. When we turn in a résumé, employers assume a whole lot about who we are beyond just our job experiences. By the way we design, edit, organize, and include information, employers suddenly assume things, like how old we are, how hard we work, what’s important to us, who we interact with, how creative we are, and so forth. Don’t put yourself in a bad position by including something that sends the wrong message.
