A resume is a brief account of a person's education, qualifications, and previous work experience. It should include a professional summary, core competencies, key accomplishments, and awards or recognitions to highlight the person's value. The resume should be consistently formatted, use minimal jargon, and be tailored specifically for each job to show relevance. Extra information should be cut and the objective deleted in favor of more useful details. A strong cover letter should accompany the resume to draft a complete job application package.
