Resume-writing

A resume is a short, concise document that states relevant information regarding your education, skills, experiences, accomplishments, and job-related interests.

What is the Purpose of a Resume?

Your resume is a self-marketing tool. The purpose of the resume is to effectively communicate your assets, in writing, to an employer. You need to know what employers want and then to present it to them in a clear, easy to follow format. It is an art, not a science, and should be tailored for the job to which you are applying.
