Creating documents on MS-Word: 

MS-Word is the standard user-friendly software used to create documents. Leave letters, letters of application for jobs, resumes, etc., can be created using MS-Word. A resume is a document that has to be created for submission to employers. MS-Word will help create resumes.

A resume is a summary of your education and work history. A resume is important as it is the first impression you give to a potential employer. 

A resume is a marketing tool. It should reflect your skills and experiences accurately, precisely and in an attractive manner.

Employers are contacted by many applicants and most often have little time to thoroughly screen each applicant.

Employers want to know exactly how you can be useful to them without having to read through unrelated details. 

A one to two-page resume gives an employer an idea about whether or not they should spend time interviewing you.

A resume should provide a positive impact by being clear, accurate, and relevant to the job objective and focused on one industry or employer.
