Employment

view of resume over the shoulder of interviewer

Resumes help employers choose the best person for the job. Every time there is a job opening and someone wants to apply, they always need a resume. The resume is what defines you when you apply for the job. It shows the employers all your skills, and previous experience. Resumes help employers, because they will know how many years of experience you have in the field they are looking for. For example, if the employer is looking for someone with phone skills, and they haven't had phone experience previously, they can go to the next resume to find the right candidate that will do the job right. It is important to write all the true accurate things on the resume. Another reason why it helps employers is because they can call the previous jobs to verify what kind of worker the person, applying for the job, was. For example, if the previous employer tells you that the worker was always on time, and was always working hard, then the employer will know that that worker is the best for hiring. Without resumes, employers won't be able to tell what kind of worker they are about to hire, or they can't call references, as they do not have any contacts for them. That is why resumes help employers choose the best person for the job because the resume explains everything, and helps the employer make the decision.
