What is a Resume and
why is it so Important
A resume is a one- to two-page document
summarising your career objectives, professional
experiences and achievements, and educational
                 background
- A career objective should give your potential
  employers and idea of how you wish to move
       forward in your professional life
A profile/summary should include
information on some of the positions
            you’ve held
Professional experience should include
 information on some of the position
              you’ve held
Achievements, volunteer positions and
    interests should only be listed
References should be listed if requested
Your resume represents you to prospective
employers. A great resume will make you
    stand out from other candidates.
Make sure that your resume is error
free – double check your grammar and
                spelling
Make sure that your resume is
       formatted well
A well-written resume can make a difference
between being stuck at your current job and
getting an interview to land the job of your
                   dreams
