The document discusses different types of resumes and their purposes. It explains that resumes are self-marketing tools used to get a job by focusing an interviewer's attention on an applicant's strongest qualifications and achievements. Resumes come in two main types: functional resumes highlight skills, while chronological resumes combine experience in date order. Both include contact information, career objectives, education, experience, and employment history.
