Are You Resume-Ready?
What if a recruiter called you today? Would you be ready to jump
on the opportunity she offers you? If not, you could lose the
chance to better your career, as jobs go FAST in this
competitive market. If you are going to be "Resume Ready" you
have to keep your resume up-to-the-minute.
Always check your resume once a year. Since you will always want
to talk about your current job, add the new results and
accomplishments you've achieved during the year. Try to shoot
for adding two new bullets, at least. Then, when you go to a
professional to update the whole resume, you're already up to
date. Another way to track your achievements is to keep a
running list of your work accomplishments. You'd be surprised
how many things you'll forget if you don't write them down.
Update your resume and cover letter when you have changed your
focus. For example, if you are a Senior Accountant but now want
to apply for CFO jobs, it's time to update your skills and
include more of your leadership
talents.
Get ready for company layoffs if you see the handwriting on the
wall. Don't delay tetting yourself ready to hit the job market
running. Your resume and cover letter should be ready to use
immediately. And don't delay preparing your resume if you are
feeling dissatisfied in your job.
It's time to take stock of yourself NOW and a resume is the best
tool you have for clarifying your work goals and
responsibilities. Remember, too, your resume is your first tool
in your job search.
