Resumes


What is the PURPOSE OF A RESUME?

The purpose of a resume is to provide a summary of your skills, abilities and accomplishments.  It is a quick advertisement of who you are.  It is a "snapshot" of you with the intent of capturing and emphasizing interests and secure you an interview.   It is not an autobiography.  Since your resume is a primary tool in your job search, it needs to be carefully written and critiqued.  The rest of this website is designed to guide you through the process.
