How to Customize Your Resume for Each Job Application
During the shortlisting step of a hiring process, employers today look for personalized, and streamlined resumes that match the provided job descriptions and experience requirements. However, most of the applicants tend to prepare a common resume and send it with all applications. As a result many deserving candidates often miss interview calls. Let’s discuss why this traditional method does not work any more and ways to rework your resume according to the specific job circulars.
Why Not to Submit the Same Resume for Every Job Application
The best way to make the most out of any job application would be to customize the resume according to the job need. Fortunately, it isn’t as tedious a process as it sounds.
The main reason why you shouldn’t submit the same resume to every job application is because of relevance. Different jobs have different requirements. Tailoring your resume allows you to highlight the specific skills and experiences that are most relevant to each position.

Most companies these days use ATS or Application Tracking System which is designed to filter out resumes based on keywords. Customizing the resume targeting a specific job will allow you to incorporate as many keywords as possible.
Think of what recruiters are looking for in your resume. How well you fit in the role and what competitive advantage do you bring to the position? For example, you might want to highlight and link your projects for a data scientist role rather than including your organizational responsibilities. It will allow you to demonstrate skills that make you a good fit and also showcase your competitive edge.
Submitting the same resume for every job will not only reduce the response rate but will also fail to highlight your true potential to the recruiters.
