Lessons in Resume Writing

I've decided to re-write my resume using a "human voice" approach. Being an "older" job seeker (read "over 50") my honest career goal is to find a job using my skills and experience that makes a higher-end salary. (Yes, I agree, there are way too many quotes in the above.)

I've created resumes tailored to the job I'm applying for, but always tried to keep my "career goals" on a general same path. But, in the human voice resume, I want to tell my story, which will include my career goals, so I realize that my career goal will be different depending on the job I'm applying for.

In this article, https://www.forbes.com/sites/lizryan/2014/07/17/how-to-write-your-human-voiced-resume/#20e12d5b6edd, Liz Ryan talks about making your story of your past experience tailored to the job. Which makes sense.
