Having Various Versions of Resumes Ready for Job Interview


In order for job seekers to have the most possible options, they should have several different versions of their résumé ready, each of which targets a different industry.  Even though these résumés might be written differently from each other, they should of course all contain truthful information about the person’s biography and accomplishments.  In particular, these résumés should clearly describe those events in the applicants professional and educational life in a manner targeted to the job the applicant seeks to attain.

Strong resumes should be able to clearly convince the hiring managers and other related decision-makers of the fact that the candidate has the requisite experience to make a positive contribution.  On the other hand, if improperly presented, the job seekers’ current work experiences can limit them to working in industries that they have previously worked in. Luckily, job seekers in all major fields have transferrable skills that can help them transit into related industries.

Information technology and healthcare have become major industries and they offer a great many job openings. Professionals who are outside those industries can study those fields in order to gain more value-added credentials. For instance, marketing specialists who work in industries not related to healthcare can still work within the healthcare industry because they can use their current marketing skills to promote a healthcare business. The same concepts of transferrable skills can be applied to those who would like to transfer to healthcare industries.
