Why Not Update Your Resume

How long have you been keeping your professional resume in your cabinet? What does it feel whenever you see and and whenever you feel like you really need to find a job? Can you still remember the last time you had an achievement? Were you able to put it down on that paper? Finding a job can be an emergency, we can never tell when we will a job. We are just like our professional resumes. Those papers needs to have some fresh moment every now and then. Tania Khadder listed some signs that your professional resume is getting older. Why not look at it to check? Yes. They need some update. Why don't you try to take a look?

1. YOU'VE FORCED IT TO FIT ONTO ONE PAGE . "Your resume should be concise. Recruiters are busy people -- they don’t have time or the patience for long-winded career chronologies. But if your experience warrants two pages, by all means, don’t limit yourself to one."
2. YOU LIST AN OBJECTIVE . "At this point in the selection process, hiring managers are far more interested in what you can do for them than in what they can do for you."
3. YOU DON'T BRAND YOURSELF . "With the rise of social networking, everyone has become their own brand and you shouldn’t be afraid to show companies what you represent. Don’t just promote your accomplishments, but promote who you are."
4. YOU'VE LIST THE JOB YOU'VE HAD IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER . "Don’t list jobs that are irrelevant to the one you’re applying for just to fill up space. Instead, expand on the jobs that are relevant. Focus on measurable achievements in each role as opposed to a play-by-play of your daily responsibilities."
