For most of us, writing a resume is a task we only think about when we are looking for a job. Yet, as academics, you need a resume for almost everything you do - promotion, grants and proposals, industry, as well as looking for your next job.
The requirements for each of the uses is different too.
Looking for an academic job will need a focus on your academic credentials.
Promotion, will need to include a range of areas set out by your university. These probably include teaching, research, grants, publications, administration, industry engagement and international collaboration (to name a few).

Granting bodies are looking for your ability to undertake the work your proposing.

And, if it is an industry job you're after, then your resume will need a different focus for that.

So, if you're applying for lots of jobs, but getting nothing in response. Or perhaps your grants aren't quite hitting the mark. Or, if you're about to go for a promotion.
