The document discusses resumes and their purpose and format. A resume is a self-marketing tool that is the first impression an employer has of a candidate. It should summarize one's qualifications and experience at a glance. Resumes come in two main formats - functional and chronological. A functional resume highlights skills relevant to the job objective, while a chronological resume lists all work history in reverse chronological order. Both include contact information, career objective, experience, education, and employment history.
