August 25, 2008 - September is International Update Your Resume Month. The event was developed by Career Directors International (CDI) in an effort to highlight the value in taking charge of career development. During the month all adults, are encouraged to review and update their resumes to reflect their professional accomplishments.
“We advise professionals to spend some time on career management at least one to two times per year. International Update Your Resume Month is a perfect time to update your skills and accomplishments and assess your career goals,” says Karen Swim, President of Words For Hire.
Many professionals only update their resume when preparing for a job search. For those who have been out of the market for several years, the task can become overwhelming. Routinely updating your resume ensures that you are always ready for opportunity from speaking engagements to board consultancies.
“We work with as many entrepreneurs and business people as we do job seekers. Service professionals, freelancers, consultants and more all see the value in having an updated resume as part of their marketing toolkit, “comments Swim. “Additionally, tools like VisualCV have broadened the appeal of the resume beyond the job seeker.”
