What are the main purposes for writing a resume? Select two options.

to give your opinion about the jobs you have held

to provide contact information to prospective employers

O to intrigue a potential employer with your personal interests

to request information about possible jobs and job openings

to provide a summary of your education, experience, and skills

Impress your prospective employers:

Your resume is not a brag sheet for you to hang on your wall, but it does provide you with an opportunity for you to demonstrate your relevant skills and achievements, and hopefully impress your prospective employers enough that they will give you an interview.

Make sure that you tailor your resume for specific jobs by emphasising your relevant skills for that position and place focus on highlight any previous experience that would benefit you within their company.

Your prospective employers will develop interview questions based on the information on your resume, so make sure that you don't over stretch your qualifications and are prepared to demonstrate or elaborate on your listed skills.

Demonstrate your communication skills:

To your prospective employers, you are a complete stranger. By looking at your resume, they get an idea of how well you can communicate. It also demonstrates your ability to organize information and write well, as well as to pay attention to detail. Instead of using one resume for all job applications, you should tailor each one to the employer's needs.

Before sending your resume off, make sure that you have proof read it thoroughly and had someone else read it over too, to make sure it reads well and there are no grammatical errors.
