Resuméer

Resuméer are the plural form of resumé, a short professional document used to present a person’s qualifications for employment. The term derives from the French résumé meaning "summary" and is used in several European languages; in Danish, the plural form is resuméer. In English, the equivalent document is commonly called a resume (American English) or résumé (less common, with diacritics), while a CV is typically a longer, more detailed record of education and career.

A resumé typically includes contact information, a brief professional summary or objective, work experience with concise bullet points, education, and skills. Optional sections may include languages, certifications, awards, volunteer work, and references. The document is intended to be concise, tailored to a specific job, and easy to scan.

Formats and practices: Resumé formats include chronological (emphasizing recent positions), functional or skills-based (emphasizing capabilities), and hybrid or combination. Resumé length is usually one to two pages. Applicants are advised to tailor each resumé to the job posting, use action verbs, quantify achievements where possible, and avoid irrelevant personal details. In the digital age, many résumés are submitted online and may be parsed by applicant tracking systems; compatibility and clean formatting become important.
