Get Focused --- Resume and All

I attended a career fair this week.  It was a great event, however candidate after candidate came to our booth completely lacking focus.  They seemed to come saying.  . "I'll take anything, what do you have?"  This is the wrong approach.  You have to act as though that company has exactly what you are looking for and that your research on the company has only increased your desire be part of their team.  Here is an example:

 Suppose you were the manager of a professional baseball team.  A person comes to you saying, "I want to be on your team."  You respond, "What position do you play?"  You then respond, "It doesn't matter, but I know I can contribute."  Suppose someone comes saying, "Your lineup is not hitting enough balls in play.  I come ready to solve this problem.  My 380 batting average over the past three years in the minors, makes me the solution to your problem.  I can play any spot in the outfield as well as my arm strength is in the top of the league." 

 Which candidate do you want?  The one that is sure they will contribute, or the one that has shown they understand exactly what you need.  Your resume should contain this same attention to detail.
