RESUME
Resume is a summary of education, work experience, and qualifications. There are two terms which exist in parallel: C.V. or curriculum vitae, which comes from Latin and means autobiography, and resume which is borrowed from French and means a summary. There is no mush difference between them except that a resume is usually shorter (one page long) and written by those applicants who have little work experience.
The resume is very important in job searching. It is a calling card which is purposed to attract the interest of the prospective employer.
The resume should describe an applicant's personality and demonstrate his energy, ambition, and ability to work in teams. It should give the employer a sense that this candidate would be a good investment for the company.
An effective resume must make a good first impression. Of course, appearance is important but content is even more crucial. The information in a resume needs to be well-organized, easy to read, and result-oriented. It usually includes personal information, professional and volunteer experience, special skills, educations, accomplishments, and references.
An effective resume should address the employer's needs. Its aim is to show the prospective employers how an applicant's skills, accomplishments and abilities match their needs and organization goals. The best way to achieve this is to include only the work experience that is relevant to the job you are applying for.

Every day employers sort through piles of resumes and typically devote 30 seconds or less to each one. Employers won't read any more than two pages, anyway. If you can fit your resume onto one page, that's fine! Employers are looking for, among other qualities, strong organizational and communication skills.
There are two main formats of a resume: chronological and functional. The most popular among the beginners is a chronological resume. In the chronological resume a list of education and work experience is presented in a reverse chronological order. This is followed by a statement explaining job responsibilities.
In the functional resume experience and skills are given under the job title, without dates or places of an employment. In the functional resume, emphasis is placed on what you've achieved and not where and when you achieved it.
It is particularly useful if you have made many changes from one field to another or previous jobs are unrelated to the current position.
Your resume also serves as a self-assessment tool, an opportunity to complete a self-inventory and see where you've been and where you'd like to go. The matter of fact is that even an excellent resume will not get you a job all on its own. But it does show that you take your career seriously and help you to market your skills and experience. A good resume helps you to pique a prospective employer's interest and prevents you from achieving circular status.
