Resumes
        “A resume is a structured summary of a 
         person’s education, employment 
         background, and job qualifications. Before 
         you begin writing a resume, make sure you 
         understand its true function—as a brief 
         persuasive business message intended to 
         stimulate an employer’s interest in meeting 
         you and learning more about you. In other 
         words, the purpose of a resume is not to get 
         you a job but rather to get you an interview.”
    Types of Resumes
    1. Chronological resume
     •  The most common approach.
     •  Work experience section dominates and is placed immediately 
      after contact information and introductory statement.
     •  Lists jobs in reverse chronological order.
    Types of Resumes
    2. Functional resume
     •  Emphasizes your skills and capabilities.
     •  Stresses individual areas of competence rather than job history.
     •  Sometimes causes suspicion because it obscures work history.
    Types of Resumes
     3. Combination resume
     •  Meshes skills focus of functional resume with job history focus 
      of chronological resume.
     •  Allows you to emphasize your capabilities if you don’t have a 
      long job history.
     •  A good choice for college students.
