Next, say goodbye to that objective statement. "Gotta go," Rivera advises. "That was 1970. We are in 2022."

You should also be strategic about laying out your work history, Rivera says. That means highlighting only those roles that are actually applicable to the position at hand.

And don't skimp when it comes to strong action verbs either — you'll want to make yourself sound as competent and integral as possible. Rivera cautions against weak action verbs like "I helped" or "I was responsible for." Instead, go for verbs like "streamlined," "strategized" and "generated."

Finally, you don't need to includeyour referencesor note that they're available upon request. If you reach that stage in the process, the hiring employer will ask for them.

With more than 11 million jobs open in the U.S., perCNBC, recent grads and seasoned professionals alike are well-positioned to snag thejob of their dreams(or just one that will pay the bills) if they update their resumes for 2022.
