What is a resume?
A resume is a marketing document intended to get you an interview - it is not intended to get you a job. It must capture your reader's interest but it isn't necessary or realistic to attempt to reveal all your abilities and background. All the evidence in your resume must in some way help the reader to see that you have an ability to make a contribution to their organization.
