Excellent advice. While customizing your resume to each job does require a certain amount of commitment, it's like anything else, the more you do it, the better you will become. Continuously customizing your resume to different jobs that you think will be a good fit for you will make you an expert, and soon you will be able to customize a resume it in much less time.
