Resume Update or Rewrite Checklist

Resume Update or Rewrite Checklist

When it comes to presenting your resume to prospective employers, you may have wondered whether or not you should update the content or just create a brand new document. It may be helpful to also review the content about what employers want to see in a resume.

This checklist will help you make a more informed decision about when to update and when to rewrite your resume.​
  • Evaluate how long ago it has been since your resume was created. If it was created in the last 18 months, update the existing document. If it was created more than five years ago, it’s probably time to start over with a fresh format.
  • Consider how long it has been since your resume was last updated. If it was updated within the last 12 months, a refresh is probably appropriate. If it’s been more than three years since your resume was last updated, consider an overhaul.
  • If you are seeking a new role in the same profession, you can probably refresh your existing resume. Is it a job change or career change? If you’re changing careers entirely, you will want to start fresh. Taking a career change quiz might be helpful.
  • If you have an “objective” statement at the top of your resume, you probably need to overhaul your résumé instead of just updating it.
  • If you’re using a functional format on your resume, consider starting with a fresh format, as the functional format may not be compatible with applicant tracking system (ATS) software.
  • If your existing resume has gotten too long, it may be time to start completely from scratch. (Sometimes it is harder to delete information than to reimagine everything from scratch.)
  • Have you been trying to update and maintain a professionally written resume by yourself? Especially for modern designs, the formatting may not be easy to update. Go back to the original writer for an update — or overhaul. If you have not worked with a resume writer before, looks for tips to help you make a decision on how to hire a resume writer.
  • Update your resume whenever you take on a new role (new job or promotion).
  • Update your resume whenever something significant happens — achieving a certification, adding new skills to your repertoire, or finishing a big project.
  • Review your resume a minimum of once a year. Evaluate your current roles and responsibilities, quantify your accomplishments, list new skills, and add in any new education, training, or volunteer activities.
