- Submit tailored versions for each job advertised
- and on and on
Check out this advice from Visual CV, a virtual resume site where you can create a rich digital profile rather than a flat text document.

The traditional resume, while it continues to evolve, is far from dead and is an essential element in your job search and career management.
OK, I realize that’s still true but it hurt a bit to find it so clearly stated on one of the most advant guard sites I’ve ever seen. Seriously, I can’t wait for this statement to stop being true.
The traditional resume and all the antiquated ways we use them needs to die.
