Here's something I'm thinking about: What if you're applying to several similar jobs, but the application system only lets you upload one resume? Do you tailor it for the job you want most, or try to make it work for all of them?

Curious how others handle this kind of situation!

    That’s a tricky one! I’d say go for a balanced version that highlights the key skills relevant to all the roles, but if there’s one job you really want, tilt it slightly toward that. Employers usually appreciate focus. Also, if you’re taking a break from job hunting and need to unwind, check out here it’s a fun way to switch your mind off for a bit.

    This is a great question! I've encountered this with a local company. I think I switched out the resume, but have always doubted/wondered how to manage this (and also what they have to gain by limiting applicants in this way!)

    I switch. Or drop it off in person. It kinda freaks them out, but the boomers love it
