Your personal data sheet contains most

of the

information you need

to prepare a resume.

N o w you

have to select and arrange

that

infor-

mation

in the way that best

relates your

background to

the

work

you

seek. Every resume is an individualized presentation of

your

qualifi-

cations

for a particular job.

It

means that

you

may prepare

a

few

different

resumes, depending

on the types of jobs you are

applying

for.

You can choose from among four types of resumes:

• Chronological resume lists work experience or

lights an

applicant's capabilities and includes a complete job history.

The trend in resumes

today is

to omit personal data,

such

as birth

with plenty of white space and wide margins.

Place headings at the left side

of

the page, and the details relating

to them on the right side. 10.

Once you have a job, update your resume on a regular basis.
