Two resumes? Granted, I'm only 43, but each and every resume I send out is tailored to the role I'm applying to. I make sure to highlight experience relevant to the role. Now that I'm mostly on the management side of things, I emphasize outcomes over languages and skills (they're in there, but not as prominent as they once were).
- WalterSear 8y agoI think they mean 'two ways of presenting yourself', or 'two different base resumes to customize for each role'.
- guiambros 8y agoNot the GP, but I think they meant - "go beyond two, and create one for each occasion" (i.e., many more than 2). I agree wholeheartedly with that approach. You're more likely to be successful if you tailor your story and experience to each opportunity, particularly if you have 20+ years of experience. Specifically, OP mention about applying to a "Senior engineer" and "VP of engineering". Depending on the size of the company, these are very different roles. A killer profile for one could be terrible fit for the other, and vice-versa.
- WalterSear 8y agoGGP is advocating separate mindsets, and for organizing them on paper as two separate 'resumes'. This is before you customize your submission for each job.
- jimbokun 8y agoRight, but those resumes should fall into two distinct clusters.
