Have you updated your resume lately? If you are like most people, it’s a task you’ve avoided or postponed. According to a recent article published in The Boston Globe, “more people quit their jobs in the past three months than were laid off … This latest trend suggests the job market is finally thawing”. Given the slight uptick in new job creation, it’s time to reach back into the closet, dust off the old resume, and polish it up. Are you ready to pursue an exciting new opportunity when it presents itself?
With all the fancy templates available online, and “resume writing experts” offering to spruce up your image for a handsome fee, it can be difficult figuring out where to start. My recommendation is to get back to the basics – keep it simple and concise.
