September is Update Your Resume Month

September is Update Your Resume Month Its that time again! Update Your Resume Month (UYRM). Professional Resume Services, in collaboration with Career Directors International (CDI), is once again presenting (and in the midst of) Update Your Resume Month. Not only are the kids (finally!) back to school, but it’s time for job seekers to prepare, tooâ€" for unexpected opportunities! Is your resume ready to be viewed? Is it loaded with everything you’ve accomplished? Would you hand it out to a stranger (i.e. the hiring manager/recruiter) tomorrow? IF NOT, YOU NEED TO UPDATE IT! What would you do if you were told about a fantastic opportunity that seemed tailor-made for you, but you only had a day to submit your resume to the person? Are you ready? Worse, what if you look at it and realize, it doesn’t need to just be updated, it needs to be REWRITTEN! I don’t know about other resume writers, but we are booked up at least a couple of weeks in advance. What have you accomplished since your resume was written? Certifications? Training? Career advancement? Continued education? A job move? 2? 3? Yikes! What are you waiting for? Be prepared for the golden opportunityâ€" update your resume today and spare yourself the pain of missing out on it tomorrow.
