THE RESUME - AN OVERVIEW

Resumes used to be simple little documents, a couple of pages long, with a few references at the end. These were passive summaries that laid out your qualifications in a low-key manner, and more often than not, they slipped quietly through the cracks of the company's hiring desk.

Perhaps, a passive, low-key resume is keeping you from getting your dream job.

If you think that a resume is merely a list of work-related things you've done in your life, than you need to seriously change your perspective.
