			<link>http://www.preferredresumes.com/articles/index.php?id=240332</link>

The reason is that both these functional parts of a resume have overlapping areas, and seem so similar that few feel the need to delve into the principles of resume writing and distinctly separate ''work-experience'' from ''accomplishment record.'' Another reason, of course, is that both the functional areas can be bundled and presented under the single heading of ''work-experience'' without the loss of meaning or purpose.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Most of us forget that a resume is essentially a legal document.

Naturally, a job application has the structure of submission of a case: The first part, including the cover letter and the top of the resume up to and including the objective statement, is the region where you make your claims and promote them. The second part is the rest of the resume and addendum, and it contains the evidence to support your claims.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What is the most important component to being seriously considered for a job? During the initial application stage, mostly everything will come down to the quality of your resume. No, a resume is not going to automatically land you the job. No one is suggesting that it will.

			<link>http://www.preferredresumes.com/articles/index.php?id=240327</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Optimizing a resume is necessary from a practical point of view, and flowery words or your literary flair cannot substitute the use of power words or keywords when effectiveness of the document is considered.
