What is a Résumé? This is the common word for "a brief written account of personal, educational, and professional qualifications and experience, as that prepared by an applicant for a job. It is pronounced as 'rez-ee-mey' " ( Dictionary.com). It is the short version of your Curriculum Vitae. The latter is much longer and deeper both in content and length.
Most employers and schools want a not- more- than 2 page summary of your educational and professional experience. No hiring committee or business owner wants to read a "paper" of who you are in SO MANY words. They have hundreds of resumes to read so tip 1: BE SHORT BUT PRECISE*********
