A FEW GUIDELINES FOR A BETTER PRESENTATION

The term 'RESUME' is used in the United States. Its equivalent 'CURRICULUM VITAE'[CV] is preferred in England and European Countries. It is also used in India but of late "RESUME" has gained higher frequency of use.

Resume writing is the first step in securing a job. It is a tool for obtaining an interview, not a job. You may have excellent subject knowledge and wonderful skill and talent. But unless you communicate them explicitly, you may not be able to reach the interview stage. In the modern context, a resume should be considered a marketing tool. It is the content of the resume that determines whether or not you should be called for an interview. It is also your first indirect contact with your employer. The employers receive hundred / thousands of resumes every day. If they look the same, it will be dull and dreary. So, your resume should be different from that of others in all respects.
