It has been quite some time since generic resumes have been replaced by targeted ones. Therefore, it is time to pay some attention to this situation.
Often, job seekers end up writing landscaping architecture resumes that are of a generic nature, expecting results and not getting any – because it isn’t much for hiring managers to work with.
How? Well, you cannot expect to be asked to come for an interview if you don’t bother making an effort to make your candidature come alive!
Always send a targeted resume for a landscape architect position – like the sample provided below:
