It should provide the reader with a snapshot of your education, skills, work experiences (paid and unpaid), activities, and achievements. Most readers, particularly employers, will only spend 30 to 60 seconds initially reviewing your resume, so first impressions count.  \nWhy is having a good resume important?  \nIf your resume effectively demonstrates how you have used relevant and transferable skills to produce results, it will make the reviewer want to learn more about you as a candidate. Ultimately, the primary purpose of your resume is to convince the reviewer to offer you an interview where you can further demonstrate why you are the right person for the opportunity.  \nA well-crafted resume will:  \n• Highlight your experiences as they relate to the position  \n• Create interest from an employer to offer you an interview  \n• Communicate your unique brand  \n• Demonstrate motivation, professionalism and communication skills  \n• Create a structure to help prepare you and the hiring manager for the interview  \nAre there other applications where a professional resume is important? Yes!  \n1. Applications for graduate or professional school, fellowships, scholarships, proposals, grants and other academic merit awards  \n2. Promotions or other performance-based programs with your current employer  \n3.
