1. Keep your resume on your mobile device for sending at a moment's notice. Many of todays PDAs are equipped with internet access and MS Word which will allow you to send your resume out and update it as well. Take full advantage of your PDA's power.
2. Consider creating a Visual CV. It's free. You can showcase your use of social media tools, post a video and samples of your work.
3. Add your resume to your LinkedIn page as a SlideShare presentation.
4. Your resume is your marketing document. Is it engaging and an interesting read? If not, add case "stories" to add a personal touch.
5. Highlight your accomplishments. Quantify and qualify as much as possible.
6. Does your recruiter have the most up-to-date version of your resume?
7. Resume must be letter perfect. In this tightly competitive market, you don't want your resume to be eliminated due to spelling errors.
8. Make sure your current contact information is listed. Include Linkedin as well.
9. Use social media tools to their fullest advantage. If you are job hunting, consider posting your resume to your Facebook page.
10. Arrange your content in reverse chronological order, starting with current status and work backwards. Recruiters prefer this format.
