A resume is a self-marketing tool used to focus an interviewer's attention on an applicant's strongest qualifications. There are two main types of resume formats - functional resumes, which highlight skills relevant to the job objective, and chronological resumes, which list work experience in reverse chronological order. Both resume types include the same core information like name, contact details, education, and experience, but differ in how this information is presented.
