Nelson saw his varied background as a hindrance to his desire to continue working in a non-profit organization. His most recent position had been part-time and he had been supplementing his income with other work.

We left all that information off the resume. This is important to remember. You don’t have to tell employers everything on your resume. Just tell them what they need to know in order to be impressed.

By eliminating extraneous information, we helped Nelson show that he actually had 8 years of continuous non-profit experience. He quickly secured a new position that he loves.
