Why is it Required

• Recruiter
– No time to meet everyone: will spend only 15 to 20 sec on a resume, If you don’t get their attention
quickly, you’ll never get it
– Separate the wheat from the chafe: try to have a 1 page resume,
– Matching the skill set: make separate resume for different job objectives, one can have 3 to 4 resume
• Interviewee
– Sets the flow of interview
– Showcase his abilities

NOT JUST ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL
