Your résumé is the primary tool in your job search campaign; it is both your introduction and your "sales brochure" to prospective employers. As it provides the all-important first impression, it should present your objective, qualifications, professional experience and other information in a manner designed to create an interest in you, resulting in an interview.

People who read incoming résumés often spend only 15-30 seconds on each one--obviously not enough time to read through anyone's entire job history--so your résumé must stand out and spark interest, or you will have wasted your time and job opportunity. You need the most effective and current résumé package available to make your first impression a powerful one.
