Here is the advice from a professional recruiter. It should focus a job hunter on the purpose of the resume. Here is how the conversation went.
_______________________
Sherwood: Let’s shift over to the résumé for a second. How important do you think the résumé is?
Recruiter Guru: Well I think the résumé’s real important but it’s a single-dimensional piece of paper and you happen to be a three-dimensional person. So the résumé is geared to the job app … you can’t have one résumé that’s just geared toward everything. It’s got to be pretty much monitored or set up towards that particular job that you're interviewing for. And you got to say some things in the résumé that will specifically spark interest for the job order they're looking for. The only purpose of the résumé is to get you to a face-to-face.
Sherwood: To get the interview?
Recruiter Guru: That’s it.
Sherwood: Now are you suggesting also that a person tailor his résumé to fit the job description?
Recruiter Guru: Absolutely.
