The best way to tailor your resume to a specific job opportunity is to use bullet points that directly correlate to job responsibilities. Highlight your current responsibilities that match those in the open job. Again, it’s not about highlighting what you think are your best attributes, it’s about highlighting the experiences that are most relevant to the job and those that best match what the employer is looking for. For more insight on how to tailor a resume, visit PSG's blog post, "Ask a Recruiter."
