from Ready For More · host Sonal Bahl

Send us Fan MailOne set of professionals who are bashed up regularly on LinkedIn are career coaches, for giving bad advice to job seekers.I'll be the first to say, what's good or bad lies in the eyes of the beholder, right?Having said that, I don't want to pass judgment because I'm acutely aware that like a few other coaches, I help job seekers around the world, and what's one coach's opinion in Minneapolis may be quite different to another in Milan and another in Mumbai. Advice that is directive and absolute like 'You should' and 'This is wrong' comes from a very narrow way of thinking.I will be exploring 8 myths out there on resume writing, and share my take on them, based on my own experience of going through over 250,000 resumes during my career, hiring across 3 continents.
