I was at a job fair in Phoenix last month and a hiring manager looked at my resume for 10 seconds, then said 'this could go to any job in this room.' She told me to rewrite it for each posting and pull the exact words from the listing, so I did that for the next 5 jobs I applied to and got 3 callbacks. Does tailoring every single resume actually work for you, or does it just eat up all your time after work?
