Keep in mind that there is no absolute formula for creating a resume, just basic guidelines based on theory, and feedback from employers. A resume is a written summary of your experiences, interests, skills, and goals. It is the important first impression you make on a potential employer.
Resumes are succinct and concise documents.
Those individuals who have been in the work force for many years will easily be able to add information to a second page. Resumes that include work experience, research endeavors, and publications will usually be two pages in length. A variety of formats may be used when constructing a resume. In this section we will focus primarily on chronologically and functionally organized resumes. Also addressed is the curriculum vita which is a particular version of a traditional resume commonly used by those seeking employment as professors and instructors in universities, four-year, and community colleges.
