Quote to read and absorb for your job search:
“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” —Maya Angelou
If You’re Not on LinkedIn, You Very Nearly Don’t Exist
90%+ of recruiters use LinkedIn as their primary search tool. This is not an understatement. If you’re a professional, you need to not only be on LinkedIn, you need to be using it to your full advantage. Don’t believe me? Think about it this way: If tomorrow morning, a recruiter logs onto LinkedIn looking for someone in your geography, with expertise in what you do, and you’re not there? Guess who they’re going to find and contact? Yes, that person’s name is “not you.”

Please - do not treat your resume as a "one size fits all document". Whether we like it or not, you need to tweak your resume for each job that you are applying. If you do not make subtle changes to the document, all dependent on the job of interest, you may not pass the applicant tracking system (ATS), let along the hiring manager who is treating the resume and is looking for consistency when comparing job requirements to your resume.
