In a job market that's growing more competitive every day, having an effective, impressive resume that stands out from the crowd is key. Looking to fine tune yours but not sure where to start? No worries, our Resume Rescue series is here to help! This resume tip comes from a comment left by Stephen on a previous post. It was such good advice it seemed worth giving it a post all its own:
"The best resume tip anyone could receive is the following: 'Do NOT use the same resume to apply to every job, adapt your resume for each specific position and make sure to highlight your experience as it relates to the intricate details found in each different job's responsibilities and requirements.'"So no more cookie-cutter resumes sent out in mass mailings to every business in your neighborhood. Taking the extra time to tailor each resume for each specific job application will pay off in the long run by helping you to stand out from the crowd, and by showing that you really do want that job (not just any job).
