Whether you're currently employed or job hunting, did you know that September is the ideal time to update or revamp your resume? In support of September is Update Your Resume Month, an event registered by CDI over 20 years ago, I've shared some great advice and reasoning in my recent Forbes Coaches Council. So why should you update your resume now, even if you're not currently job hunting? 1. You could get a bigger raise from your current employer. 2. You'll be ready when an opportunity taps you on the shoulder. 3. You're prepared when the unexpected happens. And why September? September was selected because we’re far from New Year's resolutions, spring and summer break and the often all-encompassing winter holidays. In September, the kids are typically firmly planted in school and, for most people, the month isn't filled with other obligations, making it the perfect time for some career caretaking for YOU! Making this part of your annual career caretaking does make a difference. It's easy to get started or get help if you need it.
