My resume shows that I last worked till Feb. 2009. How detrimental is this for my chances of getting hired?

We Answered:

A few specific suggestions:
1. Remove all months from your employment dates on your resume. At first glance, they will not know when in 2009 you stopped work. And first glance is all you need to at least get a call.
2. If you haven't already done so, I suggest you remove your graduation dates from your degrees, and drop some of your older positions. 15 - 20 years is more than enough.
3. Try to do some meaningful, and if possible career relevant, volunteer work that you can add to your resume to fill in 2010.
4. Can you list yourself as an "Independent Sales Agent" for the period of time that you tried the commissioned sales jobs? Don't list the companies, just what you did.
Your goal with the resume is make if past the pre-screening, so you can get to the hiring manager. Then you need to sell yourself.
Hope this helps.
