Based on new data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national unemployment rate dropped from 8.3 percent to 8.2 percent in March. This information, coupled with the fact that 120,000 new positions have been created, may provide jobseekers with the inspiration to take a career test, get their resume in order and start looking for work.

Even if jobseekers already have a resume, they should take a critical look at it and make a few necessary revisions that will help them stand out from the pack.

For instance, while a resume is designed to help a job candidate get hired, CBS MoneyWatch suggested that this document not be all about this individual. Instead, the resume should be focused more on what it is an applicant can offer an employer, such as professional skills.

As jobseekers take the focus off themselves, they should also get rid of anything that dilutes their resume’s message. This means the document’s "objective" category needs to go, along with any information that makes the resume look more like a page from a novel, rather than an easy-to-read piece of paper.

Should jobseekers take these steps, they will have a sleek resume that is more about what they have to offer, as opposed to what it is they want from an employer.
