The foundation of your job search should be a good, solid resume (which may also be called a curriculum vitae or vita). The curriculum vitae describes in detail one’s professional career over the course of one’s life, including both work experiences and qualifications. It is primarily used when pursuing opportunities in an academic setting. Although the curriculum vitae and resume have the same function, the differences between the two are length and format. In the business world, the standard resume is usually no more than two pages in length. An effective resume gets your foot in the door and it may lead to personal interviews.
Your resume should be detailed enough to give employers the information necessary to assess your qualifications for the job opening. At the same time, it should be concise. It’s essential that your resume be word processed; if you can’t word process it yourself, hire a word processor. The few dollars you pay to have it word processed will prove to be one of the best investments you will make. You may use your resume for several different purposes:
(a) include one with a “blind”’ letter of inquiry about a job opening;
(b) send one with a cover letter in response to an advertised position;
(c) attach one to a standard job application; or(d) take it with you on a job interview.
With the recent advances in technology, a very efficient and fast way to respond to a position is to send your resume electronically. Robbie Miller Kaplan, in her book, Resume Shortcuts: How to Quickly Communicate Your Qualifications With Powerful Words and Phrases (1997), defines an electronic resume as an unformatted resume prepared with American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) text and sent via email. She cautions when using this technology to closely follow the employer’s formatting instructions to avoid technical appearance problems. She further provides tips on how to create an ASCII resume.
