A resume is an outline of
skills, qualifications, experiences, and educational background that an
individual possesses. Some people think of a resume as a thirty second
commercial that will help you distinguish yourself from the rest of the
candidate pool.
The purpose of a resume is to give a brief overview of who you are as a
candidate. A resume communicates to an employer what you can offer to them as a
potential employee. A good resume combined with a dynamic cover letter will
motivate someone to meet you.
