Most office workers haven't updated resumes

Associated Press

With the nation's jobless rate above 10 percent, many workers might expect the unexpected when it comes to their careers.

But only one in five have updated their resumes in the last three months, while almost half haven't made changes to the document in the past year, according to a recent survey.

The telephone poll of 493 adult office workers, conducted by staffing company Robert Half International Inc., found that 82 percent think that they're ready to start a search if they lost their jobs tomorrow.

Meanwhile, 44 percent said it's been more than a year since they've revised their resumes. Twelve percent have made updates in the past month.

When asked how prepared they are to conduct a job search, 39 percent of workers said they were very prepared, while 43 answered that they were somewhat ready.

Reesa Staten, senior vice president and director of workplace research, suggests creating a ''personal personnel file'' to keep track of your successes and kudos.
