Purpose of a Resume

The purpose of a resume is to get an interview! So a resume works if you get the interview.

Many job seekers and resume “experts” seem unclear about this. If you don’t understand that the purpose of the resume is to get an interview, it will be difficult for you to write a resume that works.

You don’t need to put every last detail of your employment history and experience into your resume. Save that for the job application form. Write just enough in your resume to entice the hiring manager to want to interview you.

And the purpose of the interview is to get the job. Simple, isn’t it?

Now that you know that the purpose of a resume is to get the interview, you can strive to write a resume that works.
