RESUME

Resume originated from the French word

résumé which means, “summary”. It is a
concise document that highlights your
education, work experiences, and other
qualifications such as your skills and strengths.
These are information or qualifications that
your future employer might look for in the job
that you are applying for.
 A resume is usually an enclosure
to an application or cover letter so it is
recommended that you prepare the
resume first since the information that
you include there will be the basis of
your letter.
 Curriculum Vitae (CV) is
Latin for "course of life." The
CV presents a full history of
your academic credentials, so
the length of the document is
variable.
 If you're applying for positions in
industry for which a Ph.D. isn't
necessarily required, then you'll likely
want to use a resume. For most non-
research- oriented, non-academic jobs,
you will want to use a resume that is one
or two pages. Recruiters typically do not
have time to read a CV.
