The importance of tailoring a resume when applying for jobs
Lauren wrote this blog for BioCareers as part of her monthly contributions.
Resumes are important to showcase your "personal brand". They are what companies and individuals see when you apply to jobs. They highlight your skills, tell a story, and explain why your skills are relevant for a particular job. Many times, people create a "standard resume" that they use to apply to jobs and in theory this document is transferable between different types of jobs. While a standard resume is good and the exercise of writing down your experiences and skills is helpful, it is always better to customize this to draw out the specific experiences that you have that are applicable to the specific job that you are applying for. Without this, a company may overlook you in favor of others who are more blatantly obvious.
