What is a Resume?
A resume is one of the documents employers may request you to submit as part of an application package. Resumes allow applicants the opportunity to describe their experience and skills in their own words. It’s helpful to review information about resumes and learn what to include in a resume to make yours as effective as possible. Those interested in finding a new job write a resume. Hiring managers or recruiters usually collect resumes through an organization's career website, a job search engine, a professional social media page or in person. Most resumes consist of work history, education, a professional summary and a list of skills.
Why create a Resume?
Your resume communicates your qualifications and your brand (who you are and what makes you different) to employers and recruiters. In a tough job market, you need a resume that helps you stand out in a sea of applicants. Ultimately, the purpose of a strategically targeted, polished resume is to get you an interview.
