Career Minder’s Brag Sheets page with a couple Brag Sheets and a Write Brag Sheet button

When writing a resume, it’s important to make sure your work experience is tailored to the role you are applying for. If you’ve been working a few years, chances are that you’ve done a lot of different things, some of which recommend you for the role, while others are a distraction. So you need to select the most relevant experience to include in your resume. However, most job searches involve applying to several different jobs, each with distinct job requirements. To create a tailored resume for each application is time consuming and many applicants settle on a one size fits all resume that they submit to many different applications. Smart Resumes help make creating tailored resumes easy.
