Are you using an outdated resume format?
You successfully made it through school, so why is your resume still stuck there? If your objective reads: "To obtain a challenging position that will allow me to utilize my marketing skills as well as my experience with a growing company," it is time for a resume tune-up.

Last job listed on your resume ended in 1995.
You have actually been promoted to VP of Sales, but the last time you updated your resume, you had just been hired as a Sales Associate and that was before a merger. Obviously, nothing in the business world remains the same for long, so make sure your resume stays current.

Your resume is now five pages long.
Your resume should be 1 to 2 pages long, depending on your experience. And certainly no more than 3 pages. Nobody wants to read a novel of your job experience. Since employers give your resume less than a minute to read, you must communicate your talents concisely and quickly. Use our resume tool to create a concise, yet impressive resume.

You have a resume, but it is not accessible on a computer.
Your computer crashed, taking all of your files with it. You only have one copy - a printed copy. If you expect to keep up with technology, it is essential that your resume remain technologically savvy. Employers expect your resume to be available in ASCII text and other electronic formats like MSWord.

Why update your resume now?

Recruiters have many candidates applying.
When you get the recruiter's call stating that you're the perfect candidate for a new position that offers a $20K salary increase, you'll need to respond immediately. If your resume is not ready, up to date and immediately accessible, they won't wait for you to update your resume. The opportunity may be lost because you were not prepared. Think of all the advantages of being able to send them your resume via e-mail instantaneously, and securing an interview in just one phone call.

Searching online, you find your dream job.
You're yearning to send your resume, but by the time you've updated it, the position might be filled. Why take that chance? You've put off updating your resume because it seems like a hassle. Scrambling to get your resume together can be frustrating and often causes resume errors. Update your resume now. It could mean a lifetime of difference in your career.

Mergers, layoffs, uncertainty, and more mergers.
While looking at the today's newspaper, you notice several articles about mergers and layoffs. Don't get caught with an old resume. Will you be ready?

You update the resume quickly and still miss an opportunity.
Let's suppose you hear about the perfect job and quickly pull together a resume. How can your resume stack up against a well put together, consistently maintained resume? Did you highlight all of your key strengths? Did you have enough time to make sure you produced a resume that best represents you?

Tune up your resume, , because when your career needs a tune-up, you will want to have the best tools possible ready for you to use.
