In Episode 99 of The Resume Room, Lucas and Luna tackle a tricky resume challenge: how to frame a temporary or contract role on your resume without making it look like a gap or a step backward. They dig into the specific case of a marketing coordinator who took a six-month contract at a logistics firm during a layoff period — and how she turned that into a narrative of adaptability and skill-building, not instability. Lucas breaks down the three-line formula: title with contract qualifier, results bullet with context, and a brief reason for the duration. Luna pushes back on whether it's ever worth leaving contract work off entirely, and they land on a rule of thumb involving the six-month threshold. They also discuss how to handle multiple contracts in a row without looking like a job-hopper, and why the word 'temporary' is actually an asset for showing you can ramp up fast. A practical, tactical episode for anyone whose work history includes gigs, contracts, or project-based roles. Also includes a brief moment where the hosts talk about keeping the show ad-free and listener-supported. #ResumeWriting #TemporaryJobs #ContractWork #JobSearch #CareerAdvice #ResumeTips #EmploymentGaps #JobHopping #MarketingCoordinator #LogisticsIndustry #Adaptability #SkillBuilding #JobApplications #Careers #TheResumeRoom #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
