Text “A”. When you apply for a job, you must submit your resume to the employer. A resume is a summary of your professional experience and education, your strengths and skills. The aim of a resume is to get an interview. If the employer gets interested in your resume, he will invite you to the job interview. So a resume is your "visiting card", your "advertisement", your "key", which opens the door to the interview. A successful resume ought to be honest, precise and laconic. It should be placed between one or two pages. Any resume has compulsory sections ("Summary", "Experience", "Education", "Personal") and additional sections ("Special skills", "Technical profile", "Interests", "Honors and Awards"). You can choose by yourself what to include and what to avoid.
