What is a Resume?
Your resume is a personal flyer and marketing tool whose purpose is to communicate to an employer that you are a qualified candidate for a position that you are applying for. The contents of your resume should include an overview of your:
-
Accomplishments
-
Knowledge
-
Skills and Abilities
-
Education
-
Experience
Most importantly, your resume should be tailored to the job description that you are interested in applying for.
