Types of Resumes/ Bio Data/
Curriculum Vitae
The Resume,
also called the Bio Data or the Curriculum Vitae is perhaps the most
important document that assists you in your job search. It is this
document that represents your skills, accomplishments and experience to
the prospective employer. The most important role of the Resume is to
create an interest in the employer to meet you and discuss the job opening
face to face through an interview.
Your resume
should be able to land you that crucial job interview that is the next and
most crucial step towards getting the job. A lot of job seekers fail to
reach the interview stage because their resume fails to impress the
employer. If you are planning to begin your search for the right job, make
sure that your resume is well drafted and capable of taking your search to
the next stage - ie, meeting the prospective employer and proving that you
are perfect for the job.
