Being clear on your resume about the type of position you want is critical. If you don’t clearly identify the type of position you’re pursuing you’re confusing the person reviewing your resume. And confusing the person you want to interview you is never a move in the right direction. This is another reason why you should always customize your resume for every position you apply to. Below I’m going to give you some examples of how we’ve utilized job search targets/job titles for some of our clients.

The above are just a couple examples of using a job title or job search target on your resume. It’s important to tailor this information each time you apply and to follow your title with a branded career summary that isn’t a bunch of fluff but actually explains the value you offer the employer and why you’re different than other candidates.
