A resume is a concise document summarizing an individual's education, work experience, skills, achievements, and qualifications. It serves as a marketing tool for job seekers, showcasing their relevant background and abilities to potential employers. Typically, resumes include sections such as contact information, a summary or objective statement, work history, education, skills, and additional relevant information like certifications or volunteer experience. The purpose of a resume is to highlight the candidate's suitability for a particular job or opportunity and to persuade recruiters or hiring managers to invite them for an interview. Resumes should be tailored to each job application to emphasize the most relevant qualifications and experiences for the specific role.
