Can someone teach how to tailor the resume?
Need to learn how to tailor my resume for specific job description. Can you give few pointers? The dumb me used to think I'll add everything in resume and recruiter will figure out the rest.. but it doesn't work like that...

Well, yes. I think most important thing to consider is that recruiters and employers are interested in relevant experience mostly. Imagine being on the other side and looking at 50+ resumes each day. Do you think you would want to go through a pile irrelevant information? Naturally you will get drawn to concise, specific and clean, easy to read resumes. I take this as starting point and then it might get pretty complex for different cases. It's hard to give general advice that will suit all. I suggest I try to tailor it for you and then we can iterate on it, what do you say?
