Here's how you can customize your resume for a specific job opening as a beginner in Resume Writing.

When just starting out in our careers or even as a seasoned professional that has had the fortune of a long job tenure, there are things we all need to do... Create a "Base Resume". This will serve as the baseline for ALL your customized resumes, and you will find that the adjustments needed for each job you apply for become easier and easier, the more you do it. Then, have 2 or 3 "sub-base resumes"... For instance, a sales professional may have 1 sub-base resume for a Sales job... another for a Sales Manager role and another for an Account Manager role. By having a few different versions, the customizations will be even less while making each version more targeted to that level.

Analyze the job to understand what skills are required into it for e.g. job into Marketing Operations will ask for different skills like maybe knowledge of hubspot, marketo, SFMC, salesforce etc so you have to understand which tools to highlight and how to put your current experience so it matches the job profile for which you are applying, apart from this dont apply to every job understand if the job your applying alligns with your long terms objective or not .

Highlight skills both on LinkedIn skills section and also in your resume. For that you can add a section as skills on top and add the skills which are required for the jobs you are applying. For e.g. a Demand Generation manager should highlight performance marketing, crm , event management, reporting etc.

Totally agree! Add one session as "Career Highlights" and add the achievements you have and are related to the role. This section add with your summary, before the experience. This action helps in the visualization of the information on your CV and where the recruiter will pay attention first. Do not add only the skills, but always demonstrate how you use this skills or delivered something.

While it's valuable to have diverse experiences, the key is to prioritize what's relevant to the specific role you're applying for. Tailoring your CV for each position is essential. Identify what information is crucial for the role and highlight that, while eliminating any unnecessary details. This focused approach ensures that your CV effectively communicates your suitability for the position.

Proofreading your CV is crucial. Seek feedback from a colleague or someone familiar with your field. They can provide valuable insights and suggest relevant keywords to enhance your CV's effectiveness.
