What is a Résumé?
A résumé, often referred to as a CV (curriculum vitae), is a summary of a person’s background and experience, including work experience, education, and even volunteer work, and its most common use is to send to potential employers when searching for a new career opportunity. In fact, though taking on a much different form than that of what you’d expect a résumé to look like today, Leonardo Da Vinci even did this himself, and he is often given credit as the first person to create a resume.
Of course, the résumé has undergone quite the transformation since Da Vinci’s 1482 version, drastically so during the age of word processors and digital typesetting in the 1970’s—40 years after résumés became an institution. Fast-forward to today and not only do you have your standard .doc or .pdf résumé, but you’ll also see people uploading video résumés on YouTube and using social media platforms like LinkedIn to sell themselves to companies.
We should be thankful for these developments because now we can skip the quill and ink and jump straight into Microsoft Word.
