What is a resume?

Resume is a document that outlines your qualifications, including but not limited to: Profile, Objective, Skills, Education, and Professional Experiences so an employer can see an overview of how you can contribute to their company. In short, your resume provides employers with what you can offer them if they hire you.
In this site, you will find a multitude of sample resumes, helping you to write a resume in the appropriate format.
Look at our sample resumes and personalize them to fit your professional needs. We have used specific formats for each job type and proven terminology to provide you with the latest and most successful resume samples. This collection of free sample resumes is specifically designed for job-seekers using the Web in your job search.
The following are different types of resumes we have available for you:
Chronological Resume:
The chronological resume: current or most recent employer is listed first.
Functional Resume:
Functional resumes discuss work experience according to your functional strengths, not the employers for which you have worked. This type of resume works well when you want to show employers what you have done and not who you have worked for.
Hybrid Resume:
The hybrid resume combines the chronological and functional resumes' approaches.
Executive Resume:
Candidates or managers with extensive work experience have an advantage over candidates with shorter work experience. To increase their chances of hearing from a potential employer, candidates with extensive work experience should create a resume which targets each opportunity.
Plain Text Resume:
Many corporate e-mail systems are sensitive to attached documents for fears of downloading a virus. To maximize your chances of having your resume read, you should paste your resume into the body of your e-mail message; this will increase your chances of having it read by HR professionals and hiring managers.
Contractor Resume:
Professionals who do contract work face a unique resume challenge: displaying their experience without looking like a job hopper. By using a Functional Resume approach, you will ensure that potential employers will see your commitment to professionalism.
Longer Executive Resume:
Resumes for senior executives will be two pages minimally and include comprehensive information. Such candidates have too many employers, accomplishments, or skill, to cram into just two pages. For these individuals, the longer executive resume will be appropriate.
