How often do you update your resume? I try and do it annually, but thinking this may need to be more frequent.

I would keep a note of your achievements in whatever role you're currently in. But I don't think you need to update your resume more often than things are actually changing. So if you have a big accomplishment, add that in. But don't just go tweak you resume because it's on your calendar or something. You know when it needs an update

Yes!! I keep a folder of achievements in my personal Google drive to have on hand to reference when I’m updating my resume (notable client feedback, positive results, headlines, etc). But don’t do a great job of always updating it in a timely manner - unless I force myself to look at it annually. So gotta get better at adding in achievements in more real time!

I take a look at my resume now and then just to see if it needs any polishing. There's always something I can do to tweak it. I just like to have it ready at all times, so if I see something and I want to apply right away I don't have to think about it, I can just fire it off.

Agreed!! I like having a (mostly) updated version ready so if a job comes up, I can jump on it

Depends if I'm in an "actively applying" phase.

I probably do a complete overhaul after I've gotten a promotion or a deeper look at it once per year. That said, I'm constantly making adjustments based on roles I'm applying to.

Usually once a year as well but lately it has been more. I am trying to find a new role so it has been updated more frequently. If I wasn't looking for a job now though it would probably be once a year.

Sacklers made a rookie mistake of not starting with a big4. Had they come to us, our partners would have recommended a phased digital transformation journey to enhance value maximization and increase share of wallet. We’d do this by implementing SAP, Workday, and Salesforce using power point based accelerators to create a 360 degree view of the customer that empowers the frontline, increases loyalty and enhance employee collaboration. We’d still be in pilot assuming start date similar to McK.
