A resume is a document that tells other about your level of education and skills. It can be used to get accepted into colleges and universities, but most often it is used to secure employment. The resume is many times the only information an employer receives about you before ever seeing you face-to-face, and based on that information, the employer will either contact you to come in for an interview or you will not be condidered for an interview due to the appearance of your resume, errors on your resume (even minor ones) or lack of information that can demonstrate you are a good match for what the company is looking for.
