What are three physical chacteristics of a resume?

Answer 1

A resume can have many components, but should always include the following:

Name and contact information - this should go at the very top of the resume and should be very easy to locate. Use a larger font for your name and make sure you provide your address, phone number and/or email so that your potential employer can contact you for an interview.

Job history/qualifications - the purpose of a resume is to highlight your previous work experience and/or qualifications for the job you are applying for. This may fall under an "Employment" section, where you list past jobs you have had, or an "Education" section, where you list your degree or certificate. On my resume, I have an "Education" section, a "Relevant coursework" section, and "Employment History" & "Volunteer Experience" sections. Every person has different experiences, so you should format your resume in a way that best highlights why your future employer should hire you.

Some people include a References section in their resume, but this is not necessary. In your cover letter (if you are submitting one with your resume), you can state that references are available upon request. On a separate sheet, you can type up the names of three or more references with all their contact information.
