Resume Templates.

A friend of mine said to me. "Its no good being the best person for the job if your resume ends up in the trash."

It seems a little bit of a silly statement but its very true. Many people if given the chance could do the jobs that they apply for very well but when the prospective employer is reading the resume whats in front of hime or her is all they can go on.

So its of the up most importance to create a resume that gets you to the top of the pile.

I like to Know What You Think!

Do you create a new resume for each job you apply for?

YES, I thinks its important to tailor you resume for each job.

Greg Jennings says:

I have been looking for a job for 6 months. Thanks for the new resume format templates. Maybe it will help, I tried to apply at the Police academy but I did know how to pass a civil service exam.

oldenu says:

Tailoring your resume for each job advertised is vital...unless you want to explode your job rejection percentage.Blasting the same resume is futile in todays job hungry market..Hurling the same resume from tall buildings is just as effetive and less costly than posting.Get real or get trashed.

Resume Help says:

I think its good to use some of the wording and language that the employer uses, sometimes a find/replace is all a resume needs!

says:

Absolutely. I have one document that is my base resume. Everything I've ever done is listed there. I'd never send that to an employer because it's too long and unfocused. When I need to write a resume, I pick and choose from the items on my base resume, selecting the items that are most relevant to the job I'm applying for. It makes tailoring my resume to specific jobs a lot easier.

NO, my resume tells the prospective employer everything they need to know and it would be the same for any job.

Steve says:

I tailor the resume to the profession (one resume for science teacher gigs, another resume for curriculum development gigs) and let the cover letter respond in detail to the unique advertisement for the job. But I don't do a unique resume for each employer.

    Here is something to think about, people often tend to tell little white lies in their resume. I'd strongly advise against making up anything that cannot be 100% backed up. Here is a big reason NOT to lie, I was hired by an nameless accounting company that has a Forensic research dept that actually checked all my courses and degrees and certificates... whoops imagine if I'd lied... If your a project manager don't make up projects that dont exist either!

    If you're a Project Manager looking to get into this field check out my Perfect PM Tool Kit at http://myprojectmanagerresume.com, it will help you apply for jobs faster with more success.

    Thanks,
