Targeted Resume

Used for teacher, professional, and technical positions.

  • Target the resume to the position by including all relevant experience in order of importance.
  • Indicate that you have the credentials, licenses, or degrees required to do the job.
  • Highlight experience that directly relates to the position for which you are applying.
  • Use reverse chronological order within each section.
  • Less relevant but still useful experience is placed lower on the page, after your strongest selling points.
