Tuesday: Revamp Your Resume
Some things on your resume will stay the same no matter what job you're applying for, like your education, past work experience, and contact information, for instance. But, with 61 percent of employers wanting a resume that is customized for their open position, according to recent research by CareerBuilder, it's crucial that you tailor your resume to fit the job you're applying for.
That can be as simple as highlighting certain skills or accomplishments that are in line with the company's job description. So, make the most of your Tuesday by customizing your resume to fit each job you're planning to apply for.
Finding a job is hard work and requires unflagging dedication and determination. Unfortunately, the longer the process carries on, the more drained and exhausted we become. For most, the stress of not knowing when you'll finally land a position only adds to the mountain of pressure you're facing.
At times, you may become so overwhelmed that you wonder if you'll be able to continue the search and finally reach your goal. In those moments, it's important to take a step back, reevaluate your game plan, and focus on smaller wins in the longer process.
To help you regain your confidence and inch yourself closer toward landing your dream job, Heather Huhman, writing for Glassdoor, has identified steps that you can achieve every day this week to boost your hireability.
