A play on words here, with an intended dual meaning. First, resumes
never provide the full story of who you are, nor should they. Resumes are
meant to be your introduction toward gaining a face-to-face interview with a
prospective employer. And they will serve as a guide within the interview.
But they will never serve as your life history or as the
starting document for your autobiography. So keep the resume in its proper
perspective as an initial marketing brochure.
Second, now that your resume is "finished," do not assume it is complete.
You should continue to modify and update your resume as your search
progresses. Gain new experience? Add it to your resume. See a better way to
state your education? Modify your resume. Find out that a point in your
background can be viewed as a potential negative? Remove it from your
resume and replace it with a positive. Keep your resume as a living document that can be updated and
changed to suit your specific needs.
