Revamping your resume from scratch can be a big job. If you're already overwhelmed, take it slow. This week, open a computer document and list all the jobs you've ever had.
You'll need the company name and your title, and most importantly the dates. If you need to go find your paystubs or tax returns, do that now. Your resume needs to be accurate.
Once you;ve got your list, save that document as "Resume V1" and then save it again as "Companies list". On the second version, add the company address, current phone number and website. None of this data goes on your resume, but it's very useful to have around when you are jobhunting.
Add the name of the person you worked for. You can look them up and see if they're on LinkedIn - this would be a great time to get back in touch.
This is all you have to do this week.
We'll be back next week with more practical guidance. If you want to move more quickly, you can find all the follow-up emails here.
