Does your resume need to grow up -

Does your resume need to grow up - I see a lot of resumes. Some, quite honestly, need to grow up! If you are writing your resume in the style you learned in college, but college was5, 10, maybe even 15 (!) years ago its time for an update! Certainly, styles have changed. Content has changed. (The previously required Objective is no longer even suggested, for example.) Suffice to say that a lot has changed! Do you really want to be sending the equivalent of your fathers resume when you apply for a job at that hip start-up? Or, even to the newly redesigned and rebranded business down the street? Probably not! So many people forget that the resume style they used right out of school isnt going to be the right choice now that they have actual work experience. I hear from many job seekers who have many years of experience, but are still spending a lot of time listing awards won in college that have no significance for todays reader. Many job seekers fail to move their Education section to the bottom of their resume once they have a position and enough experience  under their belt (and no specific reason to keep Education on top).   A few still list their high school diploma, even when they have a bachelors degree. There is no fail safe  one size fits all advice for resume writers, but most job seekers will want to make these changes and more to their job seeking documents before applying for their targeted jobs.   Otherwise, they will appear less experienced than they may be and jeopardize their chances for an interview.
