A resume is a self-marketing tool used to highlight accomplishments and qualifications for a career objective. Resumes provide employers with information about a person's work history, education, and skills. There are two main types of resumes - functional resumes focus on relevant skills, while chronological resumes list experience and employment history in reverse chronological order. Both resume types should include contact information, career objective, professional profile, education, and a description of relevant experience.
