你需要一份工作，但目前又不清楚自己的职业方向；或者现在不景气的就业市场迫使你愿意考虑任何职位。请记住尽管在考虑你目标的时候保持开放的头脑很重要，没有清楚的目标还是会在制作简历的时候导致问题。
　　最有效的简历都是针对具体的目标职位的。面对多到泛滥的简历，大多数招聘经理都愿意看到一个明确的工作目标，以及支持这一目标的能力证明。
　　因此，如果你不知道自己想要什么，如何制作一份能敲开门的简历呢？
　　战略1：创作一份目录式简历
　　首先通过制作一份目录式简历来突出你的主要技能和成就，但不要针对某个具体的职位和行业。如果你打算向一些公司发送简历，而又不知道他们正在招聘哪些职位或者你如何进入那个组织，这是个理想的方法。
　　为了表现你的多种能力，在简历开头可以写一个叙述性的总结，来展示你最适应市场的能力，成就，专业知识，以及其他任何雇主所需要的品质。下面是一个没有清楚职业目标的经理人所做开头总结的例子：
熟练的，战略思考型的经理，有着金融，商业，技术专业综合知识和不同行业实践经验。十年经验包括帮助企业获得7位数字的收入，针对问题实施改革，使企业重新盈利，以及实施全球商业扩张。曾为大型不同职能团队中受人尊敬的领导，有着极好的沟通及人际交往能力。熟练应用技术知识，业务表现更加出众。
　　没有明确目标的求职者通常犯的错误就是在简历中写一个“一刀切”的，适用于一切职位的目标部分。如果你是为了找一个能增长和提高自己的机会，请考虑删掉这一部分。
　　重要：当你决定了你的职业方向时，请修改你的目录式简历以反映你的新职位目标。
　　战略2：制作不同版本的简历
　　如果你有追求的多个方向，可以针对这些不同的目标制作不同版本的简历。通过这种方式，你就可以为不同的机会做准备而不是到了最后一刻才修改简历的内容。你可以通过改变总结部分的内容，轻松地突出不同简历版本的重点，使用总结来强调针对所追求具体目标的主要卖点。你可能还需要修改其它内容（成就，培训等）以突出你最相关的素质。
　　为你的简历定位不同目标的最好方式是首先调查你感兴趣的职位和行业。寻找你感兴趣的招聘职位并仔细读职位描述。针对你不同的目标，写下广告中所具体列出的最需要的能力证明清单。有了这些知识，你就能通过强调你所符合的条件来定制每一分简历。Monster允许用户存储5份不同的简历，因此你可以通过Monster来使用合适的版本来申请工作。
　　战略3：突出重点
　　在决定了你的职业方向以后，你的简历将更有效，而寻找工作的进展也会更顺利。读一下职业教育类书籍以了解你可能喜欢的职业。上Monster浏览可申请的职位，看看哪一类职位是看起来最有趣的。与职业指导一块了解你的职业选择会比较有效。一旦有了一个清楚的目标，你就可以制作一份清楚描述你的新目标和强调了你最相关素质的目的清晰的简历。
Resume Dilemma: No Defined Objective
You need a job but aren‘t sure of your career direction right now, or maybe this tough job market has left you willing to consider just about any position. Remember that while it‘s great to have an open mind regarding your objective, an unclear objective can pose a problem when developing your resume.
The most effective resumes are targeted to a specific career goal. Facing a flood of resumes, most hiring managers prefer to see a clearly defined job target along with credentials that support the objective.
So if you don‘t know what you want, how can you develop a resume that will open doors?
Strategy 1: Create an Inventory Resume
Start by developing an inventory resume, which highlights your key areas of skill and accomplishment but doesn‘t target a specific job or industry. This approach is ideal if you plan to distribute your resume to a number of employers but don‘t know what type of openings they have or how you would fit in the organization.
To show your diverse capabilities, lead your resume with a narrative summary that demonstrates your most marketable skills, accomplishments, areas of expertise and any other attributes employers would find desirable. Here‘s an example of an opening summary for a manager who doesn‘t have a clear career goal:
Accomplished, strategic-thinking manager offering a combination of financial, business and technology expertise and diverse industry experience. Ten-year track record of launching initiatives to fuel seven-figure gains to the bottom line, restore profitability to troubled operations and facilitate global business expansion. Respected leader of large, cross-functional teams with expert communication and interpersonal skills. Proficient in the use of technology to enhance business performance.
A common mistake made by job seekers with unclear objectives is to create a general, one-size-fits-all objective section. If you find yourself looking for a challenging opportunity with opportunity for growth and advancement, consider omitting the section from your resume altogether.
Important: When you decide on your career direction, modify your inventory resume to reflect your new job target.
Strategy 2: Develop Multiple Resume Versions
If you have several directions you might pursue, set up targeted versions of your resume geared to different objectives. This way, you will be prepared for a variety of opportunities and won‘t be scrambling at the last minute to tailor your resume. You can easily focus each resume version by changing the content of your summary section. Use the summary to emphasize your key selling points for the specific goal you‘re pursuing. You may also need to modify the rest of the content (accomplishments, training, etc.) to accentuate your most related qualifications.
The best way to target your resume for various goals is to first research positions or occupational areas that interest you. Search job postings to search for jobs that appeal to you and read through the job descriptions. For each of your possible goals, write a list of the most in-demand credentials based on the requirements specified in the ads. With this knowledge, you are ready to customize each resume by focusing on your matching qualifications. Monster allows users to store five different resumes, so you may select the appropriate version when applying for jobs through Monster.
Strategy 3: Get Focused
Your resume will be more effective and your job search smoother if you determine a career direction. Read career exploration books for insight into careers you might enjoy. Review available positions on Monster and see which jobs look the most interesting. Work with a career coach to help you identify career choices that would be fulfilling. Once you have a clear goal, develop a targeted resume that clearly states your new goal and emphasizes your most relevant qualifications.
