RESUME
• A resume is a formal document that a job applicant creates to itemize their qualifications for a position
• A resume is almost always required for applicants to office jobs
• They are the first step taken by corporate recruiters and hiring managers to identify candidates who might be
invited to interview for a position.
• Successful resumes highlight specific accomplishments applicants have achieved in former positions
• cutting costs
• transcending sales goals
• increasing profits
• building out teams. 
KEY TAKEAWAYS

 Resumes are now sent by email, not snail mail.

 The traditional one- to two-page limit stands, but nothing prevents you from attaching a brief video
introduction or other illustration if it is relevant and enhances your presentation.

 It's smart to rewrite your resume to tailor it to a specific job you're seeking.
Resume Scanning
• Resume scanning is a process where employers convert hardcopy resumes into electronic resumes
• Basically instead of a human reading the resume, the resume is first input into the company’s computer
database via a scanner
Content of the Scannable Resume

 Under your name and address, provide a paragraph of "Skill Keywords" designed to earn "hits" from the
scanner. Build this paragraph from your background and the job ad.

 Aside from the keywords section, provide the same material you would in a print resume.

 Use jargon and keywords throughout freely, but avoid abbreviations and acronyms—they may be too
specialized to be recognized.

 To maximize "hits," favour nouns over verbs—"operator" rather than "operated."
