I think that’s a great idea, Paula. Others can see what we can’t, right?

And an executive with a high school job listed? Whoa. Uh, no.

She was a very successful executive who had co-invented a product that revolutionized her industry, yet she wanted to be sure her resumé included the retail job she held in high school. I think she felt it showed a history of hard work and dedication, but it had no place on an executive resumé.

And now you have me thinking it might be a good idea for people to rewrite each other’s LinkedIn profiles. As an outsider, it’s easier to find the distractions—like the aforementioned woman’s long ago retail job—and make sure the profile answers questions that objective readers may have.
