You Need More Than One Resume

Build your resume based on the job that you are applying for.  Don't use one resume to try and land different jobs.  You need to tailor the resume to fit the qualifications that are being requested.  If your resume is general and it doesn't talk specifically to the job you need to revise it.

Here are some examples of when you would need to have different types of resumes.

You are applying for an accountant job at a large corporation. 
You are applying to be a financial adviser for a consulting company.
You submitting your resume to be a book keeper for a small family run business.

Even though these jobs are somewhat similar each one of these resumes should focus on different strengths.  The accountant position may focus more on the corporate experience.  The financial adviser may focus more on the consult aspect.  The family owned resume could possibly focus on past experiences if you had worked at a small business prior.
