ABSTRACT
A resume can include information on individual honors and on activities. Generally, a resume is one page. A traditional resume exists as a single sheet of paper. A job seeker sends a resume to a potential employer. A successful resume is well-organized, specific and concise. The design or layout of a resume is often a prospective employer’s first impression. For traditional paper resumes, use a conservative color unless the readers know that an employer seeks flamboyance and wild creativity. As always in a resume, be concise. If the readers include a “Skills” section, list only skills that separate they from the normal employee. Their resume can include the following categories of information, often in this order: Education, Professional Experience, Other Employment, Skills, Honors and Activities. A resume’s appearance and organization immediately send a message about how well the readers communicate.
