     1.5.3 What is it a Right Resume? A resume is a short statement of the
important details of something

      A resume is an introduction, one page, one short chance at proving you are a
qualified and experienced candidate who should be tried by a company. It wraps up all
your life experiences, needs to be professional, to the point and perfect. A resume must
present a clear picture of the candidate. For this you should know what a potential
employer expects. They look at a person's experience with a company, how long the
person has worked for a company or to see if he/she is a 'job jumper'. The person
should be able to present himself/herself in a resume. So what should be in a resume?
Begin with the basics. Your name, address and phone (fax, e-mail) should always go
at the top of your resume. There is no need to include the words 'resume' or 'c/v' – they
take up precious space. State a resume OBJECTIVE. It should be below the name,
