math job


1..Call it a resume, a CV or a bio-data, it is the most important tool you have when approaching employers. You will be trained and educated in various skills in institutions — and there are enough jobs out there that need your kind of skills. But then, you are not the only one. An employer will carefully compare and contrast you with the scores of others with similar skills before coming to a decision whom to employ. The employer- in this exercise of evaluating candidates- refers most often to the resume. Often, the decision to employ or reject a particular candidate is taken within 10 seconds after reading a resume.
2..A Resume or bio data is a tool that outlines a prospective employee's professional and personal achievements on the basis of which an employer decides to hire him/her.
A resume is extremely crucial for a person's job prospects because through it, first impressions are formed, and as they say- "the first impression is the last impression."
For example, if you are a sales or marketing professional, the potential employer will expect your resume and cover letter to reflect that type of expertise. In other words, the employer may decide that if you can’t sell yourself, how can you sell their product or service.
3...The crucial difference between your skills and your resume is that the latter has a purely temporary function. Once you land that plumb job- your skills and how you put them to practice are all that matter to employers. A well written resume is not a passport to permanent bliss. Just as a poor resume may restrict your chances of landing a job, a splendid resume may get you the job, but if you don't use your skills effectively, your professional growth will be stunted, or worse, you might get fired.

4... C.V. or curriculum vitae is a detailed description of all ur achievements, qualifications and other profile without any editing....therefore it may run into pages.......a Resume is created in response to a particular advertisment u plan to apply for whereas a bio-Data is a one page profile which gives ur personal details,qualification and experience.....it is general format and can be used for many purposes.
