What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
The point of your resume will be to allow your potential employer to evaluate your skills and contact you for an interview. All parts of the resume are important but without your contact information you will not be able to be contacted even if your skills are outstanding. Include the following information about yourself at the top of your resume: Your full name. Your address. Phone numbers. An email address. Personal websites that highlight your previous and relevant work. Part of any good resume is to outline your skills and education. This should be a clear and detailed list of your qualifications for the position which will demonstrate the assets you are offering to bring to the employer if hired. Include the following information regarding your education: The full name of any institutions you attended. Include the address of those institutions. When you graduated and what degree you earned. Additional minors or majors. Including your GPA can demonstrate your academic achievements. Listing your past employers is a requirement for most resumes. In listing who you worked for last you demonstrate what you have already accomplished professionally and what duties you performed in those roles. Review the following details that you should include for your past employers: Full name of the employer The date you were hired and the date you left. Where that employer was located. Focus on your roles and responsibilities with that employer. After you have detailed your professional skills and qualifications you can also include relevant hobbies. These hobbies should demonstrate your skill and passion for software development even further. Only include your hobbies if you have enough space to do so as this section is optional on your resume. Only include hobbies relevant to the position you are applying for. For example, you might program and develop games for the Android platform as a hobby. Another example would be any community events you organized that might demonstrate leadership. Include your hobbies only if you have room on your resume to do so. Employers are likely to receive a large amount of resumes that they will need to read through quickly. If your resume is too long or short this can automatically cause you to be rejected for the position. Strive to keep your resume at the appropriate length for the position you are applying for. Many employers require your resume to be only one page in length. If you are seeking work fresh out of college then a one page resume is likely acceptable. Longer resumes will be required only if you have the relevant work experience to match.
Include your contact information. Prepare a detailed list of your education, training, and skills. Make a section to show your past employment. Consider including hobbies. Keep your resume the right length.
