It is very important to tailor one's resume to what the job posting is looking for. The best way to do this it to look at the job posting and see what in your skills set is applicable then re-create a resume based on that. You can have all the skills in the world but if it is not what an employer is looking for, it will not help.<br /><br />Another suggestion that I would like to make is get to know what the current buzz word for the industry is. This includes, finding out the key words necessary to be on your resume. Sometimes it is a computer that makes the initial selection process by looking at certain key words on a resume. <br /><br />Knowing a company's history and goals is one thing. Getting to know the company's culture and understanding it's mission is another. Research and take notes so that you can use some of the information in not only building your resume but also a knowledge base of the company should you be called for an interview.<br /><br />Goodluck!Saraplicious!
