- 2. Definition of Resume: A resume is a printed certificate that lists your work practice, skills, and educational background. It is used as an advertising tool for job seekers. How to make a resume? There are many types of resumes which are used according to the type of job or work. Some basic types of resumes are given below with short details: 1. Sequential Resume This resume also called “Chronological Resume”. It is a type of resume that first lists work history, with most recent job listed first. A sequential resume is best for those who have mostly worked in the same field throughout their career and can show a stable sequence up the ladder (each job is a step-up from the last). For example, someone who has worked as a receptionist, then as a legal secretary, and is now a paralegal may want to choose a chronological resume when applying for a new job. The focus of this type of resume is job experience. 2. Practical Resumes This resume is also called “Functional Resume”. It is a type of resume that emphasizes skills and experience, instead of chronology of work experience. A functional resume is best suited for those who cannot show a steady career progression. This type of resume is designed to highlight specific skills rather than job titles. For example, a functional resume is best for people who have changed jobs frequently, or who have gaps in their work history. A mother who took time off to raise a family would likely benefit from a functional resume. A photographer who has won awards for their photographs, but who has only had one job working as a photographer would also benefit from the format of a functional resume. The focus of this type of resume is skills and experience, not job history. 3. Mixture Resume This resume type is also called “Combination Resume”. It is a type of resume that combines the elements of a functional resume with those of a chronological resume. A combination resume is best for those who have specific skills, and wish to highlight how they were acquired. If someone have developed a special skill set from a wide variety of activities,

Important techniques for a attractive Resumes Formatting Resume Regardless of which resume style we choose to use, it should always be formatted in a specific way. Proper formatting ensures that our accomplishment will be noticed instead of the font. By following the guidelines below, we’ll be helping ourselves, polish our resume so that it makes a strong first impression. 1 Resume formatting techniques. Some guidelines to follow when formatting a resume: Set margins to 1” all the way around. Use a standard font such as Arial or Times New Roman. Use font size 16 for name, 14 for section headings, and 12 for all other text. Use bold font for name and section headings. Use plenty of white space (blank lines). The proper use of white space will make resume easy to scan quickly and much easier to read. Always use white paper and black font. 2 Headings/ Sections. The heading of our resume should include our name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address. Our name should be in 16-point bold type, and the rest of the heading in regular 12-point font. We may either center the information, or justify it to the left or right of the page. 3 Spell check and proofreading This step cannot be overemphasized. Proofreading of resume several times. Have someone else proofread it. Then, have another person further removed from we read it. Spelling and grammar errors in a resume will get it discarded regardless of our skills and experience. Some things to look for when proofreading are: Spelling mistakes Grammatical errors Incorrect contact information Typos Misuse of the apostrophe, plurals, and possessives

- 5. Difference b/w CV and Resume. 1: Different length. A resume should be shorter than CV. Compare just CV with resume. Don't compare documents with other people's documents. For example, our resume may be longer than somebody else's CV. If this is the case then it's not an issue. As a general rule, a CV is expected to have a length of 2 or more pages. A resume should be less than 2 pages. A resume can be even shorter than 1 full page. 2: Similar sections. Both a CV and a resume should include our full name, address, contact information, education work experience and skills. We don't add irrelevant sections to our resume and don't leave out essential sections from our CV. 3: Different sections. In addition to a resume, a CV can and should include awards, teaching experience, hobbies, referees, grants and fellowships, diplomas, computer skills, work related skills, courses completed and any other relevant information. For most positions, recruiters receive tens or even hundreds of applications. So, if we add lots of irrelevant information in a lengthy CV, our CV may be discarded. Along with the CV, we'll lose the chance of coming to an interview. To prevent this from ever happening, we
- 6. should write a hassle free CV that's easy to understand. Use simple everyday English. Try to be clear rather than persuasive. 4: Underlining principles. In both cases, we make sure write the events in a sequential order. It's easier for people to understand events if they are a presented in a sequential order. Our skills, experience and education are the most important aspects. We should design our CV or resume around them. While we write either a CV or a resume, we should pay particular attention to our writing. Writing concisely, clearly and simply shows that we think clearly and learn quickly. Writing, learning and thinking are all interrelated. Every word should mean something and it should add to the explanation. Write short phrases. Leave out any word which doesn't absolutely have to be part of the phrase. 5: Different rules in different countries. In America, United States and Canada use a resume as a general rule. In the rest of the world, a CV is expected and often demanded. However, most of the companies don't want lengthy CVs with irrelevant stuff in it. They do not care that much about our childhood or about what you did in your third grade. They want only the information that is relevant to the position we are applying for. The perfect CV outside U.S. and Canada is less than 2 pages long and it has only the relevant information the employer needs. While a resume is about being brief, the perfect CV is about including only the relevant information. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
