Why general resume don’t work?
Now a days most of the employers relies more on scanning devices to locate your resume through online job sites or in their own databases. If you are applying for a sales job, then your employer may search for key word such as manufacturers, representative etc, if they require find candidates who have experience with their products or selling on behalf of manufacturing firms. this will lead to two types of candidates ; ones who have a lot of manufacturing sales experience and the other ones who don’t but are still selling themselves specifically to this opportunity.
A sales resume will generally a avoid mentioning industries. You will be able to get through the initial screening process by using key word such as skills, keywords, and achievements. The employer then may scan again so try to use more targeted, industry-specific keywords to shrink the piles of resumes even further to just the resumes they’ll actually want to read. It is important to make sure that your resume should at least be clearly directed to a type of job.
