Resume
 Resume is the first impression for any one on a company /
organization
 The initial screening / elimination takes place based on
resume
 If you showed your skills in writing a good resume, you
have nearly crossed half the bridge of reaching your job.
Gharda Institute of Technology
Resume
 A resume should be something that convinces the recruiter
to give us the job
 Your Resume should be filled with carefully organized
point-by-point message that says one simple thing: “give
me this job” .
 You may also get more chances , if the resume is framed as
an offer , rather than a demand. For example : A good
resume says “Give me this job”, a great one says “Let
me
help
your
company
achieve
your
organizational goals.”
