Resume
Resume is a French word meaning "summary". A resume is actually a summary of
one's education, skills and job experience when applying for a new job. In resume
we didn’t list out all details of a profile, but only some specific skills which are
relevant to that job. A resume is normally written in a type of a bulleted list which
understands it rapidly and check electronically. The resume consists of just recent
and relevant information. A resume is a short, straight-to-the-point, document
created for the purpose of applying to a specific job.

In resume you should try to keep it short as much it possible. In most of the Cases
you have to keep your resume to 1- page maximum. If you have an experience of
too many years in different organization and you have to mention your all
experiences and skills, then you can make 2- pages. In a resume, you only mention
the aspects of your work experience and skills that are relevant to the job you ’re
applying for. A good resume highlights specific contributions you have made in
your previous work and showcases how your different skills can be useful for the
position you are applying to.

The resume is usually accompanied by the submission in resume you also create a
cover letter which states your intent for applying to the job.

Difference between CV and Resume

The CV and resume both are not same. CV is a general because we mention all aspects about
us during applying with detail about our education, skills, and work experience. But in resume
we just mention related to that job. And it is also more concise as compare to the curriculum
vitae. And we avoid to add irrelevant skills and interest in resume.

Curriculum vitae Resume

 All academic history  Recent degree

 Full record of career  Brief summaries in bullet points

 Grants and fellowships  Emphasizes skills

 Awards and honors  work experience

 No maximum length  Just 1-2 pages

 All extra skills  Just related to that job

Chronological Resume

In this type of resume, we listed out our recent work history. This type of resume is most
commonly used because reader can easily see what jobs you have held and when you have
worked at them. The experienced people use this type of resume by bulleting their recent
skills and job experience.

Functional Resume
In functional resume we prefer to bullet our skills and work experience instead of
chronological work. In functional resume we can also add the summary of our skills and work
experience in a concise way. This type of resume is preferred by such type of people which
have gap in their employment.

Combination resume
A resume in which we add both type of chronological and functional resumes is called
combination resume. Because in this type of resume we add both our academic and as well as
skills and work experience.

layouts to make it more attractive from other resumes. We can also get the meanings of such
type of resume by its name that we use different graphics and colors in our resume.

manner that the reader can easily read out it. we can say that it is a cover letter which have a
precise and concise introduction about you which you think it is enough to get a job.

your skills and experiences is just related to that job and don’t write extra or irrelevant
information in this resume. This type of resume is just for each target job.
