Kara Varner, MAOM, CPRW:

Did you know that September is 'INTERNATIONAL UPDATE YOUR RESUME MONTH' according to the Career Director's Institute and the National Resume Writer's Association?  Both organizations are global career associations that promote excellence in service and connect recruiters, Resume Writers, career coaches and career services specialists.

If you are looking for work, now is the time to take a second look at your current resume that you are circulating to make sure that you are capturing and showcasing all of your accomplishments and achievements.  Some say LUCK is Preparation meeting opportunity - even when you are in a job (unless it is the job of your dreams)...it is always good to be prepared with a clean crisp updated resume!  Unfortunately, in today's economy and with corporations downsizing, employees don't always know when that pink slip could be coming.  Just recently headlines were announcing that there would be 30,000 job cuts at Bank of America.  The Department of Defense is reorganizing and restructuring to cut the required Army and Air Force government jobs needed to meet budget requirements.  So, September is a great month to dust off that resume and stay current! Other great reasons to revisit your resume this month include:
  • Adding credentials, awards, accomplishments or additional responsibilities
  • Preparing for promotional opportunities- you don't want to have to do this last minute
  • Clean your resume up - make it sharper, more concise
  • Update and create more resumes to diversify your job search
  • Include a quote from a manager or customer that you worked with to make your resume stand-out
 Here's a great tip to keep your resume up to date all year: Keep a notebook that is dedicated to your career search or career progression:
  • Write down your additional duties as you get them
  • Write down your accomplishments as they happen
  • Keep a list of awards, stellar performance evaluations and any published work
  • Print off emails that gave you kudos or positive feedback
  • Make a list of careers/jobs that you would like to pursue
  • Interview people who are working in the field that you aspire to work in
  • Set professional goals
 Take some time this month and Update Your Resume!  For more information about resume writing services or to have your resume critiqued visit my website at aplatinumresume.com Kara VarnerPresident/CEO, A Platinum ResumeProfessional Resume WriterMember of PARW and NRWA
