Tailor Your Resume to the Job By Sabine Francois
Although I am still enjoying my extended vacation time, also known as unemployment, I have gotten to the point where I am itching to secure a job. I am just so eager to get my feet wet in the working world, to have a job to wake up for every morning, and to get paid! So in an effort to combat unemployment, have launched a massive, all-out, guerrilla-warfare campaign to find a job. I have been devoting more time than ever to the application process, now that the funds are low and the debts are high.
During this time of hyperactive application, I have taken some time to reflect on the importance of the resume—particularly when applying online to myriad positions for which I am just a nameless, faceless candidate. It is so easy for my resume to get lost amid the sea of other applicants. I have learned that, in these situations, it is more important than ever to make both minor tweaks and major changes to my resume depending on the position.
