Update Your Resume!

People, if you haven't updated your resume in a while.... PLEASE DO! There are so many FREE resources available out there that can give you advice on freshening up your resume. It would be a shame not to use them quite frankly. Believe me, it not only may help you when you are seeking your next job, it just may be the variable for how you get your next job.

In recent posts, you have read how much I feel that keeping your resume updated is important. What may be of equal importance is creating multiple versions of your resume. Let me explain.

If you are a marketing candidate applying for a marketing position for a manufacturing company, then you should gear your marketing experience to anything related to that specific marketing position. In fact, you should read the job description for the open position and if you have qualities specific to some of the open position's listed job requirements, then you should make mention of this on your resume for that specific job.

These specifics on your resume are exactly what hiring managers are looking for. They need experienced individuals and want to try and find the best suited individual for the specific job.

You have to still remember that a resume is sort of a disqualifier for a hiring manager. They sift through resumes looking for reasons to put you in the "no" pile.
