The purpose of a resume is to market yourself. It serves as a way to present your qualifications to a potential employer and secure an interview. Your resume should be in an easy-to-read format highlighting your education, experience, and skills. It is not a one size fits all document, so remember that your resume will probably look different than your classmates.
