What Is a Minimalist Resume?

What is a minimalist resume? Is it the same as any other resume, that is packed with everything? Are there some slight differences? Of course there are, but in general, a minimalist resume is similar to any other resume.

Resumes are not meant to be used as a writing tool. A professional writer can do the job of a professional resume perfectly, but an individual or a business is better served by being self-sufficient. The professional resume is typically five pages long. It contains sections like names, contact information, educational background, and employment history. If you are able to accomplish all of these things on your own, and be sure that the hiring manager has no inkling of the fact that you wrote your own resume, then you are really well prepared.

A professional resume is usually formatted in alphabetical order, and will generally start with the name of the company, followed by the first two to three digits of the last name.
