finding the contact information for the company's hiring manager and sending their resume directly to that person’s email address. • Tighten things up. Your resume should reflect your work experience, but you want to focus primarily on the experience and skills that are relevant to the position. • Make your resume download-friendly. • Beware of hyperlinks. Adding hyperlinks to a resume can be hit or miss. • Include social media profiles. If you have been responsible regarding your use of social media, conducting yourself in a professional matter and even benefitting your existing employer, by all means share these profiles with potential employers.
