Once you have found a position of interest, you will want to create an application package to market your experiences and skills as they relate to that position. Therefore, you should update your materials any time you apply for a new position. A successful job application emphasizes the connection between what you have to offer and what the employer is looking for.

For job applications in some design or fashion fields, it may be okay to take some liberties with the resume style to showcase design skills, but don’t do this if it means you are losing important content. Content demonstrating experience and skills is more important for an employer to decide if you worth interviewing. Additionally, more stylized resumes should be reserved for when you are handing or directly emailing a resume to a person. Often the systems employers use to collect applications have issues “reading” documents that utilize columns, tables, headers, and other style choice additions. You don’t want your quality content lost because the format was not standard.
