Use these tips to rewrite your résumé.

However brief the amount of time recruiters spend on your résumé, and no matter how many experts say that the résumé is dying, résumés are still the norm, and they're the gatekeeper for the job of your dreams.

Every job candidate, position you're applying for, and company that's hiring is different, so it's impossible to prescribe one perfect résumé for everyone. Each résumé should be tailored to the job you're applying for.
