I don't want to shoot myself in the foot trying to get a new job in a city. You obviously are a highly motivated individual who has some excellent job, union and committee experience. You also have leadership, team work, and committee experience.
You are wondering how to package this in your written and verbal presentations or interviews with prospective employers. I understand that you want to find a job in the same city as your husband. I read that you do not want to appear too scary to a new employer when going for a new position. I am curious why you think you might be too scary for a prospective employer and why you think you might shoot yourself in the foot.
Have you received feedback about your presentation style and are you aware of any self-sabotaging behaviours that may support these fears of securing a position with a new employer?
The first step is to shift your perspective from a fear of appearing as a scary or intimidating, potentially self-sabotaging individual to someone who has a great deal to offer a prospective employer in terms of leadership, management union relations, marketing, bargaining, organizational, and committee experience.
You will want to perceive and portray yourself as being a confident, calm and self-assured individual who can contribute significantly to a new organization as opposed to an insecure individual with an excellent background who figures that they have to oversell themselves to a potential employer. Working with a career counsellor, coach, mentor or friends will help you hone your presentation skills, learn to manage your fears, and read and respond effectively to clues in interview and relationship building situations.
Be clear on what you want in your career and your next position. Present these as positive attributes and benefits to prospective employers. Do not hide your union involvement. Indicate how this will be a benefit to employers — e.

Your goal in writing a resume is to create a concise document that demonstrates your value to prospective employers and makes them want to bring you in for an interview to learn more. But sometimes the information you include can work against that goal. Even if you were an ideal candidate for the position, now the hiring manager has no way to contact you for an interview.
Amdur writes at NorthJersey. This is not only dangerous; it's stupid. Do you really want employers calling you at work? How are you going to handle that? Oh, and by the way, your current employer can monitor your emails and phone calls. So if you're not in the mood to get fired, or potentially charged with theft of services really , then leave the business info off. Your most relevant experience should be from the past 15 years, so hiring managers only need to see that, Augustine says.
On the same note, never include dates on education and certifications that are older than 15 years. This information is completely unnecessary and may send the wrong message. Salary comes later in the interview process. Also, be aware of the font size, she says. Your goal should be to make it look nice and sleek — but also easy to read. Curly tailed fonts are also a turn-off, according to O'Donnell. It's not the time or place to bring up transitions from one company to the next.
Once you're out of school, your grades aren't so relevant. If you're a new college graduate and your GPA was a 3. But, if you're more than three years out of school, or if your GPA was lower than a 3. This may become the norm at some point in the future, but it's just weird — and tacky and distracting — for now. Don't try to sell yourself by using all sorts of subjective words to describe yourself, O'Donnell says.
They'll decide if you are those things after they meet you," she says. Totally depends on what you're applying for and its relevancy to the position. Depends on the position you're applying for, if it doesn't apply then don't put it in. There's a difference between employer asking about specific information and you hiding that versus omitting non-relevant information.
It's not the same as lying. There's generally a bias against unions in the private sector so again it depends on where you're applying to and tailor it so. Another example would be public sector management, they tend to ask for people who have experience dealing with unionized workplace so I think that would be beneficial in this case to include. If the employer sees it as a negative, then they lack maturity and integrity, and it's a good way to weed out the rotten apples.
Include it. If the hiring managers discover that later you'll be disqualified for lying or hiding relevant information.
