The lecturer emphasized that there are specific documents that you must provide employers whether company you want to work for or companies involved in providing employment services. These documents are an important part for job application, which in turn introduces you to some main and important information such as your name, address and special contact numbers, as well as academic degrees, practical experience, skills, training courses and languages you speak.
The lecturer explained the difference between the CV and Resume In terms of length. CV is long because it explains everything about the scientific history of a person in detail, what explains all the academic qualifications, positions and awards that you have obtained. You also write all articles and books that you have written or participated in, and the number of pages exceeds two pages or more. As for the Resume, it is a brief biography in which you mention some of the qualifications, certificates, experiences, skills and achievements in some brevity and does not exceed two pages. It has become an important tool for job seekers.
