How Do I Get my Resume to Land on the Top of the Pile? (and to stay out of the trashcan) Tip#5

Tip #5 – Don’t wait until the last minute!

Don't let great job opportunities "pass you over;" hop to it! The last thing you want is to have a chance meeting with someone or get introduced to someone who asks for your resume and you are unprepared! Or, they say they will look you up on LinkedIn, and they can't find you! Job-searching today is a proactive activity. Make sure your marketing tools are all in place and represent you appropriately. Throwing together a profile and resume at the last minute is reactive, and the quality of your materials will suffer.
