Manager Technical Accounting (GFD)

Make sure to re-read and update your resume at least twice a year. Put a reminder in your calendar to do this even if you have not changed jobs recently. The reason for doing this is simple - checking your resume twice a year or more often allows you to refine your resume for minor changes in your current job and for any ongoing education or career training you might have had recently. A careful review of your resume might reveal to you that something is incorrect or does not describe your work history accurately any longer, and at the very least gives you a chance to add or remove relevant keywords that describe your experience and skills in a better way. After you have updated your resume file, do not forget to send a copy to the headhunters on our staffing team and at any other career sites you are using! If a hiring manager sees your resume twice, but the newer one is updated, it might be your ticket to your next job interview!
