I find it strange that people schedule annual checkups with their doctor, dentist or other professional but they fail to do an annual checkup of their resume. Good career management means always being prepared should an opportunity arise for career advancement.
When I work with clients to create a new resume, I force them to dig deep into their career history to uncover and market their career achievements. I’d be able to retire early if I had 10 cents for every time a client said something like: “Geez, I wish I had kept that information” or “I guess I should start writing down this stuff when it happens”. Unfortunately, the calibre of information shared by each client can have a direct impact on the quality of resume I am able to write.
