How to Write a Resume When You Have Too Much Experience

from The Resume Room with Fexingo: Resume Writing, Cover Letters, and Application Strategy · host Fexingo

Episode 22 of The Resume Room tackles a counterintuitive problem: what happens when your resume makes you look overqualified? Lucas and Luna explore the 'Goldilocks Resume' strategy — tailoring your experience to fit a role without triggering the 'too senior' rejection. They break down a real case: a 20-year marketing director targeting senior manager roles, and discuss how to trim titles, reorder bullet points, and omit early-career jobs. They also cover how to frame 'stretch' roles where you were promoted quickly or wore many hats. The donation segment appears naturally mid-episode, tied to the idea of valuing practical career advice. #ResumeRoom #TooMuchExperience #Overqualified #GoldilocksResume #CareerPivot #JobSearch2026 #ResumeStrategy #EmploymentHistory #JobApplication #RecruiterTips #SeniorToManager #ExperienceLevel #ResumeFormatting #CareerAdvice #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #Careers #LucasAndLuna Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
