Yash’s Answer

Hello Jeia
A resume is a indispensable document that a person makes when they want to seek admission for study program or when applying for a job.
The Resume (also known as a CV or Curriculum Vitae) consists of all the academic and non-academic qualifications and/or achievements in a chronological or reverse chronological sequence.
There are thousands if not millions of resume templates available online. The most easiest method to make a resume if through Microsoft Word, and if you have a 2016 or later version you can directly find resume templates inside MS Word itself. Some of the things you would like to include in your resume is Personal Bio, Contact number, Email address, Educational Qualifications, Professional Experience, Achievement and Certifications, Hobbies and Interests, and Academic Projects.
Hope this helps.

Stuart’s Answer

Jeia, this is an important question to ask. A resume should tell the story of "who" you are, "what" you've done, and "why" you would be a good asset to a company. The "who" goes beyond just your name and can include a few hobbies/interests. The "what" should have prior work experience, but shouldn't exclude other experiences as well where you may have learned effective management or leadership. The "why" is the results of your past efforts within your hobbies/interests/prior work experience/etc. These should be be short enough to be descriptive but give enough detail to give the person interviewing you a reason to ask you more about that item. Resumes are typically used when you apply for jobs or other professional responsibilities and should be continuously updated to reflect the experiences that you're having at the moment. Good luck!

Tiffanie’s Answer

Hi Jeia -

A resume is a document that describes your skills to employers. Here you list; technical skills, soft skills, education, volunteer activity, job history and sometimes even a few hobbies. Resumes help employers review your qualifications to match a job. Some people have multiple resumes to match different positions they may be trying to attract.

A resume is the first piece of information a recruiter or hiring manager will see about you so it is best to include all of your skills and qualifications that make you the best fit for a role.

Indeed offers some free services for resume building and there are lots of templates online as well.

Shruti’s Answer

Hi!

A resume is usually a one-sided single piece of paper with your name and information, school history and majors, experience, extracurriculars, leadership experience, and anything else you want to be able to show that you have done that relates to a job or position you may be applying to. A resume can depend on major so you should do some research on resumes in your field of study!

Cyndi’s Answer

Hi Jeia,

A resume (also commonly known as CV - Curriculum Vitae) is a document that talks about you, and it's usually used for job search.
It should highlight:
- Your academic achievements (where did you go to school, what achievements did you receive in school)
- Your soft skills (for example: communication skills, leadership skills)
- Your technical skills (for example: Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word)
- Any working experience (whether part-time or full-time, show the skills that you have learnt and applied in this job)
- Any language that you are proficient in

Be ready to give any examples that you have highlighted in your resume.
There are a lot of resume templates and examples that you can find online to start building a resume.
This document will grow and change as you progress in your career and shape it to tell a story about yourself.

Good luck!
