Tailoring your foundation resume for the positions you target will have a major impact on your results!  \nWhy Tailoring Works  \nIn addition to sending the message that you are a great fit for a position, a tailored resume also helps with Applicant Tracking Software (ATS). Many companies rely on an ATS or on online job boards, which use matching technology to compare an applicant 's resume to a job posting.  \nTailoring Your Resume Sections  \nWhen tailoring your resume, focus on three key areas: Objective Title / Branding Statement , Professional Summary, and Skill Set. If you are highly interested in a role, you may want to focus on the accomplishments related to the position as well.  \nOBJECTIVE TITLE / BRANDING STATEMENT You can either a) put the title from the job posting at the top of your own resume or b) update the title of your resume to closely match the title of the job posting and required skills. For instance, if you are an executive assistant or administrative professional looking at a job titled \"Assistant to the Director of HR \" you could simply put that exact title, or \" Executive Assistant \" at the top of your resume. You can also show field and industry expertise on your title in the resume such as \" High-Tech Sales Executive.\"  \nPROFESSIONAL SUMMARY STATEMENT A professional summary demonstrates your unique value to a potential employer. You want to show you have as much of the desired experience and skills as possible. Review the job posting of interest and highlight any key phrases. Next , weave these key phrases into the professional summary section of your resume. Don't make this section too bulky, but make sure to show off your top qualification.  \nSKILL SET Present your specific strengths and expertise in an easy to read format using industry-related \" buzz words \"and key words from the job description. You can also prioritize the list while adding and removing items to ensure your resume appears as relevant as possible to the job you apply to.  \nSAMPLE JOB POSTING Notice the key words and phrases highlighted so they can be incorporated into the resume. If the job description is long, you can also try software that creates a keyword cloud from the most commonly used phrases in the description. Popular word cloud generators [include wordle.net](include wordle.net) [and WordSift.org](and WordSift.org).  \nJob Title: Director of Manufacturing Operations  \nOur company is a leader in the semiconductor industry.
