How to Avoid an Outdated Resume Part 2: Keep Focused on Relevant Skills and Successes

Across all professions there is unique language, terms, and descriptions for job positions. A common example of this is when someone transitions from a functional role, to leadership role or position of accountability. In order to advertise the most relevant skills, be sure to update the content of your resume to reflect the level on which you can produce.

In addition to relevant skills, it benefits everyone to include the result or ‘numerated accomplishment’ of their actions. This can include sales numbers, percentages related to cost reduction or increases in efficiency, budget amounts, and the number of direct/indirect reports.
