Your resume should provide a brief summary of your abilities, education, experience, and skills. It should be properly formatted with NO errors in spelling or grammar! A resume has the task of convincing potential employers to contact you. A resume has one purpose: to get you a job interview! Resumes must do their work quickly. No employer or personnel officer spends more than thirty seconds skimming a resume for potential candidates. You need to capture their attention quickly and convey that you are capable and competent enough to be worth interviewing.
