Resume Writing
A well-scripted, tailored, organised resume increases your chance of an interview. A poorly expressed one gets lost in the ocean of applications.
What this covers.
01
What a resume is
A resume is a brief document summarising an individual's experience and academic qualification for a potential employer — contact information, work experience, education and job-relevant skills. It is the most critical part of the modern job application process.

How we help
Trancose helps you develop a traditional or modern resume — and can also produce a video resume or visual resume with all the requisites.
Resume vs CV
A resume is brief — usually one or two pages, tailored to a specific job description
A CV ('course of life') is comprehensive — education, experience, certifications, published papers, often three to four pages
You add to a CV as your career grows; you rewrite a resume for each role
