Learn2 Write a Resume (continued)

Customize the resume (optional)

Are you a marketer who could also do sales but would really like to get into design? Are you entering the workforce with several ideas of what you'd like to do and where? If you want to look for more than one kind of job, you can adapt your resume to fit each objective.

What to change? Sometimes changing the wording of your job objective will do the trick. More often, it involves changing what you emphasize throughout the resume. In some cases, you may need to switch formats. For instance, if you're a Ph.D. candidate in anthropology who wants to be either an anthropology professor or a movie producer, you'll need a c.v. for your academic prospects and a functional resume for your film aspirations.

Note: If you've changed anything on your resume, proofread it again before you send it out. If you save a version in a text-only format to send via email, proof it, too. Strange characters tend to creep into files saved in a new format.
