Resume is a French word having the meaning "Summary". It is about details of education, experiences, and employment. It is around two pages. Another is Curriculum Vitae which is a Latin word, meaning " Course of Life ". It has no limit of pages. Then another is Bio Data, which is given stress on personal details. It is generally used for matrimonial purposes.
A resume is a tool that is required when you are applying for a Job. It should be written properly so that the Recruiter gets to know about you in a detailed way. Whatever you have written, it should be true. A resume is a sort of advertisement of your skills. The HR manager gets to know what qualifications and experiences you have. Are you suitable for the required position? So Resume should be written in how all the skills, qualifications, and experiences are reflected at one glance. The resume should not be too lengthy nor it should be too short.
I think a two-page Resume is suitable. It should be well-typed and have enough font size that it should be easily readable. I think a 12 or 14-size font is good enough to read. The font type which is officially used is Times Roman so it should be used to write Resume. You should stick a good picture on the right side of Resume. It should be in formal dress and better to have a white background. For more details visit this website.
Now you have to write your Name and Contact details on the left side of your Resume. The Contact details include Mobile Number and Email ID. Both the information is very important as if these have any mistake HR will not able to contact you. Don't give anybody else a mobile number like your father or brother. It should be your number and in working condition. The same is also for email IDs. Check your email before sending in your resume. I am putting stress on these two things as it is the medium to communicate between you and HR.
