A '''resume,''' (also: ''resumé,'' ''résumé'') is a written record outlying previous [[work]] [[history]] and [[education]]al experiences a job seeker submits to a prospective [[employer]]. Because it is the first thing employers look at when screening applications, it is very important, and there are many books and paid consultants that offer advice on writing good resumes. For most positions, a resume is typically no more than one page long.  Any more than a page is rarely read, according to research.  In fact, some studies say that no more than the first half of resumes are read.<ref>http://craftresumes.com/why-the-first-half-of-your-resume-is-so-crucial</ref><ref>https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-first-half-page-your-resume-only-part-matters-greg-lachs</ref>

Job seekers in research and [[academia]] usually use a form of resume known as a ''curriculum vitae'' or CV. This may be more extensive than a resume, and would be expected to include a list of all of the applicant's scientific publications.
