I keep a âmaster resumeâ that I maintain to list all my training, courses, degrees, work experience, awards, contacts, instructors, dates, etc. It's huge and unusable as a real resume. My CV is way smaller at about 15 pages and is still way too big. When I apply for things (jobs and other certifications) I take my more professional looking CV and cut out any non-relevant info which is a ton.
I am working fulltime. I have no fancy name degrees. I like the Big 3 and like CCâs. I have four different job fields so I often leave out the other three career fields or add just one bullet statement. I am in my early 50's with three fixed retirements. I would go crazy saying home and watching TV. Fact, I do not watch TV (real time saver). I am now an empty-nester (huge time saver).hilarious I like training in a 4th field (my additional duty at work) and one that I could squeak out a 4th fixed retirement if I wanted too.
To answerer your question I would tailor any resume to the job/certification I am looking for.
I like to add my one AAS degree (real skill and focus) and leave out my other general CC AS degrees as they are not relevant and I have too many. I earned them as a byproduct of lifelong learning. I still like them but they are near useless in finding a job.

Would you keep all your education on your resume or only keep what you feel is relevant to the specific role to which you are applying? Or maybe all your certifications and other education are applicable to the jobs you'd be interested in.
By the way, this isn't a trick question. I really just like to hear about others' experiences. I haven't really done anything with my resume since I graduated. I did create a CV for my grad school application and for that I touched on all my training, some of which I wouldn't have mentioned if it was a resume for a desk job.
