Tweaking Your Resume Content

Students often ask me if they need to rewrite their resume for every job. The answer is no, not a total rewrite unless you’re applying for an entirely different job target. But a good solid tweak is not a bad idea. You can find guidelines for the tweak from the job description itself. How does the employer describe the work, responsibilities and qualifications? That’s the type of wording you want to echo in your own resume. Resumes which suggest that you’re only looking for a job, any job and not their job, will quickly end up on the reject pile.
