The most common resume mistake!

Candidates who believe that the same resume will work for every job.

Consider these issues!

1. Does the same tool work for every task?


2. Does the same approach work for every job or project?


3. Does my resume verbiage mean the same as the job description verbiage even though I am using different words?


4. Is my job title clearly understood even though it is not main stream and is not the same title as used in the job description even though the function and responsibilities are the same?


5. Can the reader clearly understand my industry with every job?


6. Can the reader identify the environment and purpose of my industry?


7. Can the reader see my core career strengths, industries, and education in the first 7 seconds of reviewing my resume?

Manufacturing industry experience: Certain manufacturing environment exposure such as metal machining, plastic injection or blow mold, extrusion, paint, stamping, forging, etc.
