Develop a Resume

"Resume" is a French word.  It means "summary".

A Resume is summary of who you are, from the perspective of an employer considering interviewing you.

The goal of a resume is to secure an interview.  It is not to secure a job.   You secure a job offer at, or after, the interview.

Tell the employer how to contact you, what work experience you have had, where you have attended school and college, and why you are qualified for work in general, and this specific job in particular.
