You should have more than one resume for your job search

Many jobs have more than one component. You might be both a coordinator and a designer, or you do inventory as well as retail sales. If this describes you, you must have targeted resumes for every segment of your skill set. 

This allows you to cut through the fluff of the job skill that may not be necessary for your candidacy and allows room for more information specific to the job you are applying for. To show your flexibility, you might choose to include 1-3 bullet points about your other skill areas, but there’s no need to highlight them because they don't speak directly to the job you want.

If you have interest in more than one area of employment, such as sales and engineering or administration and retail inventory, each area needs a separate resume. The same may apply if you are willing to work in different fields or different industries: reading many job descriptions and drawing on your experience in those industries should help you decide. 


If you are interested in getting a job in an area new to you, your resume must highlight the transferable skills that logically and clearly present your potential to the organization.
