resume

Answer 1

 A resume is a document used by individuals to present their background and skillsets. Resumes can be used for a variety of reasons but most often to secure new employment. A typical resume contains a summary of relevant job experience and education. The resume is typically one of the first items, along with a cover letter and sometimes job application packet, that a potential employer encounters regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview, when seeking employment. The resume is comparable to a curriculum vitae in many countries, although in Canada and the United States it is substantially different.
