A professional resume is a very powerful tool in seeking employment. Employers get their first impression from the resume submitted by job applicants. Job hunting always involves making a professional resume.

There are three kinds of resume:

1. the traditional resume- this resume has all the basics, including nice formatting. The highlights are the educational backgrounds and accomplishments through the years.
2. the scanned resume-this version is a narrowed down version of the traditional resume that comes in plain text for easy scanning into computer databases. It emphasizes key accomplishments.
3. the web-based resume- this version is similar to the traditional resume but it is uploaded on personal web pages so that it is readily available to potential employers.
