Not Vax Related: Talk to me about resumes pretty please?

[NewOrleans]

You know what my job is.

you also know I am miserable in both my field and my specific workplace.

I'm looking at a position with an important national non profit.  

Since I have been at my job for a loooong time, my resume is hopelessly outdated.

what are current trends and expectations in resumes and letters?  What are mistakes to avoid?  What gets one noticed?  I have many credentials and talents I'd like to showcase.

Feel free to direct me to online resources you trust.

I'm not familiar with your current position but I do work in fundraising and constitutions relations in higher-ed, and I have an open position on my team so I've been reviewing a lot of resumes over the last several days. If you're in a related line of work I'd be happy to share some ideas/tips based on my own recent search and what I'm seeing currently.

ETA:  constitutions = constituent.  whoops.

It sound odd, but I use Microsoft Word when I need to update the look of my resume'. I use the formatted resumes' they have.
