Resume Should Match Job Requirements
Continuing our series on preventing your resume from entering a "black hole" by Mary Jeanne Vincent of WorkWise.
Problem: Your résumé doesn't match the job requirements. Many times job seekers mistakenly assume one résumé fits all. Not true!
Solution: Carefully read the job requirements. Identify the specific skills the job requires. Now tailor your résumé so that it highlights and provides examples of when you have demonstrated the required skills.
