Updating My Resume
I haven’t updated my resume in some time. I suppose that would be a good thing to do. When you’re a freelancer, you can never keep your resume too current.
Most of the gigs I apply for ask for a resume in plain text format. I think that’s the only format that my most current resume is in. But there are gigs out there, even web writing gigs, that ask for a real resume. They see your resume as a reflection of your professionalism, so it’s important to have something nice. I suppose I should start looking at some resume templates.
There are templates out there that come with detailed instructions, helping you put together a great resume. Investing in one could really be an asset to one’s career. As a writer I’m supposed to have a way with words, but resumes have never been my forte. Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to invest in a good template as soon as I can afford it.
