Including every job you've ever had might seem like a way to showcase your experience, but it can actually detract from your qualifications. Hiring managers are pressed for time and need to quickly gauge your suitability for the role. Overloading your resume with irrelevant information can obscure the most important details. Instead, focus on the experiences and skills that directly relate to the position you're applying for. Tailor your resume to highlight achievements that demonstrate your ability to excel in the new role, ensuring that every piece of information serves a purpose.
