A '''résumé''' French: [ʁezyme]), also spelled resumé or resume, is a [[document]] used by persons to present their [[backgrounds]] and [[skills]]. Résumés can be used for a variety of reasons, but most often they are used to secure new employment. A typical résumé contains a summary of relevant job [[experience]] and [[education]]. The résumé is usually one of the first items, along with a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cover_letter cover letter] and sometimes an application for employment, which a [[potential]] employer sees regarding the job seeker and is typically used to screen applicants, often followed by an interview. The résumé is comparable to a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curriculum_vitae curriculum vitae] (CV) in many countries, although in English Canada, the [[United States]] and Australia a résumé is substantially shorter than a CV.

In many [[contexts]], a résumé is short (usually one to three pages), and directs a reader's [[attention]] to those aspects of a person's [[background]] that are directly relevant to a particular position. Many résumés contain [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keywords keywords] that potential employers are looking for, make heavy use of active verbs, and display [[content]] in a [[flattering]] [[manner]].

A résumé is a marketing tool in which the content should be [[adapted]] to suit each individual job application and/or applications aimed at a particular [[industry]]. The transmission of résumés directly to employers became increasingly popular as late as 2002. Job seekers were able to circumvent the job application process and reach employers through direct email contact and résumé blasting, a term [[meaning]] the mass distribution of résumés to increase personal visibility within the job market. However the mass distribution of résumés to employers can often have a [[negative]] effect on the applicant's [[chances]] of securing employment as the résumés tend not to be tailored for the specific positions the applicant is applying for. It is usually therefore more sensible to [[adjust]] the résumé for each position applied for.

The [[complexity]] or [[simplicity]] of various résumé formats tends to produce results varying from [[person]] to person, for the occupation, and to the industry. It is important to note that résumés or CVs used by [[medical]] [[professionals]], professors, artists and people in other specialized fields may be comparatively longer. For example, an artist's résumé, typically excluding any non-art-related employment, may include extensive lists of solo and group [[exhibition]]s. Interestingly, when employers review a résumé they typically only spend ten to fifteen seconds, therefore the top half of a résumé is the prime real estate for important [[information]].
