How Many Versions of Your Resume Do You Need?
April 29, 2012 . by Dawn Rasmussen
<http://www.careerealism.com/ >author/dawn- rasmussen/
A lot of times, job seekers will contact me with help on their career
document, then start rattling off a whole list of COMPLETELY different
functions that they want to cover in the resume
<http://www.careerealism.com/ > . One recent client wasforget-include- resume/
hoping to try and cover human resources, event planning, and communications
all in one document.
Unfortunately, in today's brave new world of applications, one size does not
fit all.
But does that mean everyone needs to be constantly chasing after a moving
target, always changing the document to meet each job posting?
Nope. You have to rethink your strategy completely and start seeing your
resume as a themed asset.
Here's why.

5 Ways You've Made Yourself Obsolete – And what to do about it
by Phil Rosenberg
Experiencing ageism is demoralizing.
Why can't employers see that our experience and wisdom makes us more valuable than someone 20 years our junior?
It's especially frustrating, because our parents didn't experience ageism, so we don't expect to be discriminated against based on our seniority. Seniority is supposed to be a good thing, isn't it?
However, there are ways to avoid ageism, because we largely cause much of it ourselves. If you're over 40, you are likely causing the very ageism you experience, based on things you can control.
This statement angers many, who have experienced age discrimination. It angers senior candidates, because they aren't making themselves obsolete on purpose, not even realizing the effect that some of their actions and statements have on employers.
You might ask, How can I be causing others to discriminate against me because of my age?
No, I'm not talking about weight loss, exercise, new clothes, and dying your hair. However, it's been proven that attractive candidates are much more likely to be offered a job than non-attractive candidates. It's also been proven that higher energy levels from exercise, can help make a positive interview impression. While improving your attractiveness and energy levels can help, candidates over 40 still cause much of the ageism they experience.
Even attractive candidates over 40 make themselves obsolete, based on what they do, how they act, and how they communicate.
Here are 5 ways you've made yourself obsolete and solutions for each:
1. Resume structure: Objective statements, profiles, summaries, Key skills sections (at the beginning) are all signs of traditional job search techniques. These used to work before resumes were read and scanned digitally and before there were job shortages. Not only do they not work today, they invite ageism – using an old-school resume structure gives the impression that you don't have a current view of business, or that you're too inflexible to change with the times. Both of these impressions feed the negative bias against age.
2. How we communicate: We can unknowingly give the impression that our best days are behind us. When we talk fondly about what we did 20-30 years ago, we make it seem that we aren't going to be as effective now as we were then. Even when talking about personal, non-work related subjects, why increase the perception of ageism by focusing on the distant past?
5. How we don't stay up to date in technology: Employers have a preexisting bias that age 40+ candidates don't keep current with technology. This goes far beyond a solid knowledge of Microsoft Office. If you aren't current in popular Enterprise systems (if you're in Finance, Marketing, Operations, HR, or IT), you've made yourself obsolete. If you aren't current in Social Media, no matter what your job function is, you're obsolete. Social Media isn't a new phenomena – Linkedin has been around for 9 years, Facebook for 8 years, YouTube for 7 years, Twitter for 6 years, blogs for over 13 years. Social media is also now a critical skillset that employers look for in all areas, not just marketing – including executive positions, operations, finance, HR and legal.
The important thing to note here, is you can affect how employers view you, no matter what your age.
It's critical to understand how your actions and communication impact an employer's first impression of you … and whether your experience is viewed as valuable, or stale.
