Have more than one resume....tweak it to however suites their requirements...if one is that experienced rename your job title rather than leave a gap.....It’s like the homemakers who changed their title to “Domestic Engineer”.... So if she’s looking for a maids job it would be better to list as Homemaker.

I was a high volume salesman....Changed it to simply Sales, with no fanfare of accomplishments...rather the “duties” I did...or “responsibilites”. Kept it short and to the point. Simple is good...and a one pager. Only list your last three jobs....unless a lifer...even then you can downsize all the glory points...

Thanks for the advise. And yes, I always keep my resume to 1 page. I've hired people in the past and I detest resumes you have to study to find anything on. It seems counter intuitive to exclude qualifications and accomplishments in order to get a job. I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just the opposite of how I've always viewed a resume.
