Customizing a résumé to fit each company and position will show that Ildiko has done her research and is specifically interested in the job. This will make her stand out to potential employers. A general or all-purpose résumé may not effectively showcase her qualifications for a particular job, and limiting herself to one page may not allow her to fully highlight her experiences and skills. Focusing on what she wants in a position is important, but it should be incorporated into her customized résumé rather than being the main focus.
