Introduction
To manage a second language is essential for professionals worldwide. According
to Dinero Magazine (2015) and Portafolio Magazine (2016), the most spoken lan-
guages in the world are: Chinese, Spanish and English. Yes! English is in the third
place, but for business and academic purposes is the most commonly used lan-
guage because it is spoken in all five continents and it is the official language of
influential countries, such as: United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Canada,
among others. So, if you, as a Multimedia Producer, are interested in being able to
communicate with overseas clients and develop international projects, to being able
to communicate in English is a must.

This material has been developed to help you, step by step, with some important
situations you have to deal with as a worldwide professional. To speak a second
language doesn’t happen overnight, it requires dedication and practice and your
desire and motivation are the clue for undertaking it. Are you ready to take up the
challenge?

Let’s start!

Resume
RESUME TYPES

A resume is a written compilation that provides a summary of your educa-


tion and experience. A resume should be as concise as possible. Its length
is: one page for people with Master Degree and two pages for those with
a degree. It is used to find a non academic job; for academic jobs, a CV is
more appropriate.

You can find at least three types of resumes: Chronological, Functional and
a combination of both Chronological and Functional.

CHRONOLOGICAL
RESUME
This is the most common type of resume format. It
helps to emphasize details about work history and
professional growth. The most current work is
listed first. It is useful for those people who have a
lot of work experience.

FAVA - Formación en Ambientes Virtuales de Aprendizaje SENA - Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje 15


FUNCIONAL/SKILL
RESUME
This type of resume format is used to highlight the
skills and usually describes the work experience. It is
useful for those people who have had unrelated jobs
or jobs outside the academic field.

FAVA - Formación en Ambientes Virtuales de Aprendizaje SENA - Servicio Nacional de Aprendizaje 16


COMBINATION
RESUME
This type of resume blends the chronological and the
functional one. It is the right one for those people
who have both: Work experiences and relevant skills. .
