You are the exception. Most people view resumes as a spontaneous purchase rather than a well thought out overall career management strategy. The other thing you are doing right is creating targeted documents to drive toward the types of positions you would like to have. People like to think a resume is a one size fits all document. In reality, you need to think of it as a tool to get to a goal that you tailor to fit the positions and career focus you are seeking. Always great to talk to you! I have learned lots from your (Anti) Social Development blog! Hi Kim, thank you for being my first comment on this blog! You are the exception.

I've always tried to update my resume every 6 months even when my job is secure. I don't want to deal with scrambling to update it when I suddenly need a new job or someone has asked me for it. My resume was rewritten a couple of months ago to focus on websites and working with WordPress. I had help with it but it WAS so hard. Hi Julie,

Being proactive is great advice. I’ve always tried to update my resume every 6 months even when my job is secure. I don’t want to deal with scrambling to update it when I suddenly need a new job or someone has asked me for it.

My resume was rewritten a couple of months ago to focus on websites and working with WordPress. I had help with it but it WAS so hard.
