Resume 101 – Part 1
Saturday, May 17, 2008 10:19I did a Google search for the word resume and I’m impressed to know in 0.10 sec (depending on your connection speed)J, there are 227,000,000 sites available with the word resume in it.
I’m still curious to know more so I did another Google search under the book category. As expected, in 0.17 sec (but slightly slower than before, depending on your connection speed L), there are 30,100 books written about resume sold in the internet. Okay, I’m over with the Google search even though I’m personally impressed with the Google search engine.. very cool tool!!!
From these statistics, I’m convinced there many people who are familiar with the word resume. In Malaysia alone, there are 263,000 sites about resume (again another Google search, my apologies, just can’t resist it, hahaha).
Since many people are so familiar with resume, let me stop here with this simple
What is the function of a Resume?
Looking forward for your comment based on your personal understanding. Please don’t use the Google search J
I’ll be sharing my personal interpretation based on my experience tomorrow.
Till then,
Take care.

Comment from Farrah:
In my opinion,the function of resume is very subjective.It’s not only a paper that helps to elobrate your tacit knowledge but it is a paper that represent yourself before you get there.So you need to ensure that your resume is able to attract the employer attention.

Thanks Farrah.
Yes, I agree with you that resume is not just a piece of paper with information about yourself, it is also a representative of yourself (your 1st impression to your potential employer). I’ll share more in Part 2. Stay tune.
