Just as homeowners decide between remodeling and building new, job seekers must determine if their resume needs an update or a complete overhaul. Fard's guide outlines key factors to consider: 1. Age of the Resume: If your resume is more than five years old, it's time to rebuild. Modern formats include design elements compatible with today's applicant tracking systems (ATS). 2. Career Change: Switching industries? A revamped resume is crucial to position yourself effectively in a new field. 3. Declutter: For those with extensive experience, simply adding new roles may clutter the resume. A complete revision can better organize older experience. 4. Educational Advancements: As you gain experience, emphasize it over education, especially if your resume was created when you were a recent graduate. 5. Format: Outdated fonts and presentation styles can date your resume. Modern strategies in resume sections have evolved. 6. Changing Job Targets: Early career professionals pursuing different roles need resumes tailored to new targets. 7. Technological Changes: ATS technology has advanced. Ensure your resume is up-to-date with current ATS strategies. 8. Updated Inclusions/Exclusions: Modern resumes omit full addresses in favor of city/state/zip and include LinkedIn profile URLs. Key factors to consider include the age of the resume, career change, decluttering, educational advancements, format, changing job targets, technological changes, and updated inclusions/exclusions.
