A typical resume does not need to go back more than 10 years for the work history unless you are in a profession that requires more detail, like being a university professors, or a scientist for a drug company where you need to show accomplishments throughout your career.
If you want to say anything about those jobs at all, your job title is plenty. We donât need to know the details about what you did on the job at ten oâclock in the morning and three in the afternoon. In general, your most recent jobs are more important in your resume than your long-ago jobs are. If youâre wondering âHow far back should my resume go?â the answer is âAs far back as the two-page resume-length limit will allow you to go.â If you can fit your most recent six jobs on your two-page resume, then your seventh-most-recent and earlier jobs will drop off.
