A study from resume.io reveals a significant issue: 70% of U.S. workers are not updating their resumes frequently, which experts say is crucial for career success. A mere 29% update their resumes multiple times a year, while many do so only when actively job-seeking. Career coach Amanda Augustine suggests regular updates to ensure preparedness for new opportunities, emphasizing the importance of spending time periodically refreshing skills and achievements.

Seventy percent of U.S. workers aren't updating their resumes frequently enough; career experts "strongly recommend" making regular updates to your resume throughout the year."
