Upgrading a resume means more than simply adding the latest job or promotion to a list under the heading of 'work experience'. If your resume's been gathering mothballs, here are seven ways you can give it a new lease of life:

1. Get specific. Tailor your resume to the specific job or field that you are applying for. If this means that you have to maintain more that one version of your resume, so be it! These days, it's a breeze to file customized versions on your computer. Write a tightly focussed objective statement and use it as a basis to build your targeted resume.
2. Show the value you've added. Assess the unique contributions you have made in your recent work and show how they have helped the development of the company. Don't make yourself out to be a drone by simply reciting a boring list of the jobs you've done. It's much better to impress your reader by showing how you have increased turnover, met challenges or spearheaded initiatives.
3. Energize your vocabulary. Communicate the importance of your achievements in vigorous language. Lots of people find it difficult to
   Where You Park at Work
   Did any of you hear? Beginning now you are only able to park at the work parking lot if you purchase the product being produced by your company.

   9. Re-think your format. While recruiters often like to see your history in a chronological layout, this may not highlight your strengths to best advantage. If you've taken a break in your work or are changing careers, don't feel compelled to organize your resume by date. A functional resume or 'combination' format can allow you to put the spotlight on your transferable skills, while still including essential information about past employment.
