On occasion I get asked so sit on panels for hiring people.

Years ago I interviewed several hundred kids for apprenticeships. You could tell the ones that were prepared for the kids. If the document doesnt look and sound like you, it goes against you. Its one thing to get an interview, its another to get past that point, you have to look & sound like your resume!
When you see an original document that is clearly the applicants own work, they get a big tick.
I always used to modify my resume to suit the position I was applying for, slight wording changes can produce a document that is better targeted for a specific position.
I would go and talk to a friend that is in a management position in the field that you are looking at. Referees are good people to talk to about this.

I hope that helps.

Good Luck !!!
