Professionalism is everything. Ensure that you’re well-suited for the position you’re applying to. If they want minimum five years’ experience milking cows and you’ve got two, you’re not for them. Get out there and milk some more cows.
Resumes Are Changeable
They’re malleable, to be precise. A resume that appeals to an employer or recruiter in one industry, may not appeal to those in another. That’s good news for you. It means you can tailor your resume to a specific position, and you should do that.
You want to present specific sets of skills in the best light for a specific position. Your employer is looking for certain assets and they will skim past irrelevant information in search of the juicy tidbits they need.
Or worse: they’ll skip your resume entirely. You clearly don’t care enough to present the information they need well enough, and that means you’re not conscientious and not a good fit for the job.
Tailor Your Resume
If you’re applying for a managerial position in retail, you’re not going to tout your social media management skills – unless that’s a requirement in the fine print of the position you’re applying for.
