    I personally have gone the route of having a full resume that includes all the details of my employment history, and then I’ll use that as a basis for creating a specialized 2-page resume for the job I’m after.

    i.e. if I won’t be working with animals then I won’t put down employment at a dog groomers. If I won’t be cleaning, then I won’t write “custodian” on the 2-page resume. I do however leave anything that includes certification, management, or other merits. Or anything relevant to the job I’m applying for.

    From there, I just adjust the dates to fill in long gaps between employment. I still leave a few weeks or months between job titles so if they ask during an interview, then I can go over the jobs not included in my resume and blab about “finding my true passion in employment” and all that other fake shit. I do not dream of labor.
