 What is a resume?
A resume is a written compilation of your education, work experience, credentials, and
accomplishments. Most professional positions require applicants to submit a resume and
cover letter as part of the application process. In many cases, your resume is the first
document a hiring manager will look at when reviewing your application, and therefore is
a true "first impression." Accordingly, it's important to put time and effort into developing
and maintaining an updated, accurate resume.

Why do you need resume when you are job searching?

 Purpose
 For employers: To examine a job applicant's educational and professional
backgrounds if he or she would be suitable to the job position.

for.
