Resumes are generally either functional or chronological. A practical resume, besides giving personal information such as age, education level and marital status, also includes what duties have been performed in what fields. Such a resume helps to increase the resumes arranged in chronological order. Chronological resumes are more common. It should be concise, giving personal information and employment again, together with a brief summary of professional experience. It is usually worthwhile to prepare several different resumes to emphasize different aspects of your background or ability. Be honest. Limit your resume to two pages or less. Be confident. Don't dress up your resume as if it were a book or part of a book. Don't make it so "different" that it automatically shows that you are an eccentric person.
