Starting your job hunt with a resume update is a common pitfall for many job seekers.

Taking the time to establish clear goals and outcomes for your job search, provides structure and focus. Much like using a GPS to reach a destination.

Once documented, these goals reveal the job opportunities that align with your career aspirations.

Without this direction, you risk wasting time chasing 'just any job'. Also, you may appear uncertain to recruiters, who may favor the other candidates clear about their desired role.
