A resume is a document thatshows a person’s career background and skills. A traditional resume consists of a professional summary, work history, and education sections.

What to include:
Contact information: your name, phone number, email address, and optionally relevant social media handles, such as your LinkedIn profile. In most cases, leave your address off your resume.
