In the course of most people's careers, changing jobs is common. It can be from finding a better opportunity, deciding to relocate, getting fired or even laid off. Most of mine have been from deciding to relocate, guess that explains why I have lived in four states since I graduated from college. But now I am settled in Ft. Lauderdale and will stay here until I win LOTTO and move to Rome, but that is another post.
I have a friend that worked for the same company for over 21 years only to get laid off. Having not searched for a job or interviewed in that long, he had no idea where to start. First thing he did decide was to move away from Alabama and start a new phase of his life where he wanted to be. Then came the job search.
Using his computer he produced a variety of resumes emphasizing different aspects of his experience and education, from his engineering degree to his MBA. This allowed him to respond to ads with a resume which met the requirements needed. By modifying his resumes weekly, it would always surface to the top of searches. Eventually, he obtained a position that satisfies him. Because of his work experience he used the 'mega' sites that post jobs from mechanic to hair stylists to nuclear engineers.
With job.travel, the scope is limited to the hospitality/travel fields, which eliminates many jobs the searcher is not interested in. There is the ability to store several versions of your resume. This allows you the opportunity to match the position's requirements. Remember, fabricating experience is not acceptable on any resume. The variations in your resume could be stressing managerial experience, operations, or maybe financial aspects of past employment. Always be honest with your experience, and you will have no problems.
