Developing an Effective Resume

Christopher Anne Robinson-Easley

Chapter Chapter 10 in Preparing for Today’s Global Job Market, 2013, pp 135-147 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The resume has been described as a persuasive summary of your qualifications for employment (Locker and Kaczmarek, 2009). Consequently, if you are in the job market, having the resume up to date makes you look well organized and prepared. When you are already employed, having an updated resume enables you to take advantages of opportunities on the spur of the moment. And, if you are a student, building your resume is important because it helps you become more conscious of what you need to do in the next couple of years or so to develop yourself as an attractive candidate (2009). Yet, for many people, writing a resume is a painful process.
