In response to: Is it necessary to craft your resume for each job you apply for, highlighting specific areas instead of others, or will just one resume be sufficient for all the jobs you apply for?


When applying for jobs I think it is very important to show the organization your experience in a way that stands out to them.  Organizations want to hire the candidates who excel in areas employers strive for within their work place.  For example, an organization hiring a graphic designer may like to see a creative way to present their resume that shows their talent and experience. 
      I think that by reworking your resume to fit specific jobs helps companies to see your interest in their company.  When companies notice that you have made it a point to emphasize interest, their interest may increase in you as well.  It always helps you get a feel for the atmosphere of a company, knowing that an organization wants to see your experiences relevant to their work shows you that they only want the most qualified individuals. Hiring candidates who go out of their way to please a perspective employer may show that the organization has a passion for the job.


Thinking as an employer, who would have more of an advantage; the applicant who makes it a point to show his talent and experience by making them stand out more, or an applicant who submits a more generic, universal resume? Why?
