Turn Your Resume into a Living Document
Whether actively or passively looking
for a job, it's important to remember that your resume is a
living document. It should be changing fairly often so that it
best represents you and your successes to potential employers.
Most people only revise their resume once they start looking for
a job, but this is not practical. Make note of any big
accomplishments and put them on your resume now so that you do
not forget later when you start looking for a new job. For those
people that have resumes up on a job website like
www.Cambodiaworks.com, it would be a good idea for you to
update your resume periodically to make note of recent
developments and successes.
Just as you should be revising your
resume regularly, you should tailor your resume to the position
that you are applying for. For example, a writer should have two
different resumes if applying to be an editor as opposed to a
journalist. Each resume should emphasize the strengths,
accomplishments and responsibilities that apply specifically to
the job that you are applying.
Finally, ASK have a friend proof read
your resume to make sure there are no grammar or spelling
mistakes.
