I think a resume is an overview of your personal experiences, qualities, skills and eduacational background. I think resumes help showcase all of this in order to apply for a job, and show employers what you can do and how you qualify for a job. I have had a lot of information on how to write and create resumes from other classes. I do already have a resume which I just made not too long ago, so it is very up to date, but i do think that it could use some more work.
