Okay, I get it. You’re not even looking for a job. So what? Having an updated resume isn’t just important when searching for a job. It’s about self-awareness of what you do. It answers the following questions with absolute certainty:
Now that the economy is picking up (knock on wood), all indicators tell us that employees are more ready than ever to dip their toes in the proverbial job search waters and evaluate other opportunities for growth, which is good news for job seekers.
