Myths of Resume Building
Myth
I can use the same resume for multiple job applications.
Your references must be listed on your resumes.
Resumes should contain your entire work history.
Fact If your current resume
has laboratory research listed, do not send it to a sales position.
Typically, these are listed and sent as a separate document.
List relevant and most recent jobs.
