Send your new resume to any executive recruiters with whom you have an ongoing relationship, and immediately replace any resumes posted on online job boards with your new resume. You could also use your newly developed resume as a reason to touch base with members of your network who had a copy of your previous resume.
If you’ve already started the interview process with a company based on your existing resume, bring several copies of your newly developed resume to the next scheduled interview, explaining that you recently revised your resume and you wanted them to have the most recent version. If you’re communicating with the company by email, you could also forward the newly developed resume by email in advance of your next
If you didn’t include a new LinkedIn profile as part of your resume development package, you should also take your new resume and use it as the basis for revising or creating your LinkedIn profile. The two should not be identical, but your resume can assist you in drafting the headline, summary section, and job descriptions for your profile.

This is great information! I like how you state to follow up with the employer during the interview process if you have an updated resume.
I always wonder if I am disturbing the recruiter if I contact them, however this makes a lot of sense and is helpful to know.

Thanks, Piper, for posting a comment. Providing an updated resume is another chance to put your name in front of them. It will be much more welcomed than just a phone call to check in.
