A resume that is too general will kill your chances for that dream job you want. I see this very often. You must have a resume that is created and focused on the very job you are applying for. You risk not getting noticed or called for that interview if you do not. It only takes a little extra effort on your part but the reward is worth it.
Employers only take from 2.5 to 20 seconds to review a particular resume, so you don’t have time to waste. You must get your point across very quickly. Employers want resumes to show a clear match between the applicant and a particular job's requirements. A "general" resume that is not focused on a specific job's requirements is not seen as competitive and will be tossed aside. A customized resume has a much better chance of getting looked at seriously.
Start by using words and descriptions that the job posting asks for in the "summary" and "skills" sections of your resume. That will give you the best chance at getting the interview. This will help the recruiter/employer see that you ARE a good match for the position at hand.
Follow this advice and you will be one step ahead of the other applying for the job.
