Your cover letter and resume are your first chance to say “I’m the perfect fit for this job.” As such, it’s extremely important to take the time to tailor every resume and cover letter you send out to employers.
Just like each job description you apply for will have slightly different requirements, you should tailor your experience to fit that job. Look for keywords in the job description and then relate your experience back to those key words throughout you resume. Only the most relevant information should be left.
Assuming you’re applying for similar jobs, this shouldn’t be a difficult exercise, but it will help employers to see that you truly do have the experience and skills they are looking for.
