Most candidates do not want to modify a resume for each submittal.
- That means approach #1 is to submit the resume and not submit to the job and the reader of the resume.
- Approach #2 is to modify as much of the resume as possible to submit to the job and the reader and/or tweak the cover letter to cover the information that is not on the resume.
Consider this approach for the resume:
Create a box with bullets on your resume. Annotate your core skills, knowledge, and mainstream tool skill-set inside your bullet box. Use this bullet box like a tool box and modify the bullet box to address the job description. Your bullets will also be in the body of your resume so you will need to make those adjustments to enhance and address the desired needs on the job description.
Candidates spend time and effort on their cover letter as well.
Your resume is tasked with doing the heavy lifting not your cover letter.
Consider your cover letter as a simple clean introduction of your specific employment interest, such as management, technical, business, finance, and/or customer development. Take the opportunity to provide information that may not be on your resume such as certain certifications and/or exposure to non routine American business practices including international expertise.
