1. Resume
The resume gets you the job you are after. The effective
resume summarizes employable you at a glance. A
professional resume is a self-marketing tool tailored to you
career objectives. I tis the first link between you and the
potential employer. A professional resume focuses he
interviewer’s attention on your strongest points, gives you
full credit for all your achievements, and presents a positive
picture of your best qualities.

2. Resume
An effective resume is built from carefully chosen data. An
important preliminary to resume writing is the gathering and
processing of the data you need for your resume. The two
basic types of resume formats are functional and
chronological. The functional resume is selective and only
highlights those skills pertinent to your job objective. The
chronological resume is used to combine all your experience
and employment history simply written in order by date
starting with the most recent position and working
backwards. The functional and chronological resume both
offer the same basic information: name, address, phone
number, career objective, professional profile, educational
information, description of experience, and employment
history stating the dates of employment job title, and
company name, city and state. The difference is only in how
the information is presented.
