Resumes are formal documents that summarise a candidate’s full career history, from their educational background to their current skills and accomplishments. Its purpose is to emphasize a person’s qualifications and persuade a potential employer that they are worth hiring.
A strong resume is easy to read, concise, and catches the interviewer’s attention. While an experienced person can present an impressive summary of their work history and related talents, a newcomer with no prior experience other than their educational credentials will find it challenging to create a resume that shines out. As a result, a resume for first-year students demands a unique strategy that focuses on their skills and extracurricular activities; such a resume typically follows a functional format.
