RÉSUM

É
 Résumé
• A resume is a summary of your qualifications that use
as a tool to market yourself when applying for a job.

• It is a short document describing your education, work

history (if any) and a document showing a list of your
achievement, etc.
 Résumé
• A resume shows your prospective employer that you
are employable, that you meet company’s requirements
in terms of education and work experience and that you
posses the skills and experience that are suited for the
job.
How long should a resume be?
A resume can vary in length . If you have multifarious
experience at a previous work, have earned several
degrees or have taken more than a college degree, then your
resume may be longer than two pages. But if you have just graduated
from college and have no work experience yet, then your resume can
just be a page or two.
 The usual question in preparing a resume is on how to arrange the
information to be included. Some people prefer to begin with their
educational background or information. Some prefer to show their
educational qualification after their work experience . Of course, if you
are just a fresh graduate, you would not have anything to write in the
work experience , except for some on-the-job trainings or part time
jobs you had when you were in college.

One thing to keep in mind is to enumerate the more important

information that will be best benefit you and will please the employer.

the most recent position at the top. It might include a resume
objective or career summary at the top of the resume.
Functional
•A functional resume focuses on your skills and experience, rather
than on your work history. In this way, specific skills and capabilities
are emphasized to highlight the job applicant’s abilities.
Combination
•A combination resume is ideal for people who want to emphasize
their skills over their work history. Combination resumes can be used
to show the employer your most relevant skills, while still
documenting your work history.

prospective employers enough that they will give you
an interview.
