As you welcome 2008 with a smile, certain things have to be reinforced, like your job hunting efforts. Who knows, this year could possibly be your luckiest when it comes to landing a job.
I always say new year means new opportunities. This is also the perfect time to reaffirm your goals and set new priorities. There’s no other time to step up your job search efforts, including your networking strategies and resume writing techniques, but at the start of the year.

Here are some resume resolutions based from a job article at Yahoo! Hot Jobs:

1. I will customize my resume. Make two or more sets of resumes for different needs.
2. I will write in a straightforward manner. Communicate your message as clearly as possible. Most employers are drawn to professionals who don’t mince words, even in writing.
3. I will eliminate unnecessary information. Focus on your skills and accomplishments and never capitalize on the fact that you are single or was born on the year of the rat.
