RESUME Meaning and Definition

  1. A resume can be defined as a concise and well-organized document that presents an individual's educational background, work experience, skills, accomplishments, and other relevant information to potential employers or recruiters. It serves as a marketing tool for job seekers, aiming to capture the attention of hiring managers and secure job interviews.

    Typically, a resume is limited to one or two pages in length and follows a standardized format, including sections such as contact information, objective or career summary, work history, education, skills, and references. The purpose of a resume is to provide a snapshot of the candidate's qualifications and highlight their most relevant attributes that align with the job requirements.

    Resumes are essential in the job application process as they allow employers to evaluate an applicant's suitability for a particular position. They help employers assess the candidate's background, skills, and experience, aiding in the selection process and determining who will be invited for an interview or further assessment.

    Writing an effective resume involves tailoring the content to the specific job role, using clear and concise language, and highlighting key achievements and experiences that demonstrate the applicant's qualifications. Additionally, the inclusion of strong action verbs, quantifiable results, and relevant keywords can enhance the resume's impact and improve its chances of being noticed by employers. Regular updating of a resume is also advisable to reflect one's recent accomplishments and experiences.

Etymology of RESUME

The word "resume" has its origins in the French language. It comes from the French verb "résumer" which means "to sum up" or "to summarize". The verb "résumer" is derived from the Latin word "resumere", which consists of two parts: "re", meaning "again" or "back", and "sumere", meaning "take" or "pick up".
