What is a resume?
A resume is a short one or two page summary of the achievements, skills and experience you have, it is a step towards getting an interview for a job. In order for you to write a successful resume it is helpful to know what employers look for, how to prepare your resume and what action words to include in it for maximum benefit.
An effective resume
The resume should clearly state your name, address and contact phone numbers clearly in bold on the top of the page, it should then include a brief objective about the kind of work you want and are qualified to do. The degrees or awards you earned in education should then be listed followed by your work experience. Lastly any other information you think is relevant should be listed such as, any special skills, leadership experience or participation in sports or events.
