Steve;
I taught classes on how to get a job, create cover letters, resumes, and interviews, etc.
Some suggestions:
1. Use no date later than 10 years ago.
2. Do not indicate any salary information or requirements!
3. Create a cover letter that addresses the needs and requirements of the company of interest – this is very specific and customized.
4. Create several Resumes – each one highlighting specific skills required by a type of employer.
5. Keep track of which Cover Letter and Resume was sent to what company.
a. Use a separate folder for each one. When they call you it is a simple matter to open the folder and know exactly which documents you sent, what is being discussed, etc.
Some say that a one or two page Resume is preferable. It seems that these things change constantly as far as what is the right way to do it.
Years ago I created a VFP application for my job-hunt. It helped guide my daily and weekly tasks (who to call or what to do), maintain follow up calls, and in general organize my job search.
