Resumes
A resume is a brief written description of who you are and what you have
done. It is very difficult to find a job today without a resume. In fact, some
employers won't let you apply for a job if you don't have one.
Resumes take a lot of effort. It is best to prepare one before you start
looking for work. That way you are ready when someone asks to see your resume.
Preparing a resume now will save you time later. Often, you can leave a resume
with an employer instead of filling out applications over and over again. |
There are different forms of resumes, but most of them include the following
information:
- your name, address and telephone number
- a listing of your education and training
- your work history
- volunteer work
Resumes can also include:
- goals
- skills
- personal qualities
- interests and hobbies
- memberships
- licences, certificates, awards
- references
