What is a resume?

When you write your own resume, you need to make sure you really understand what a resume is supposed to achieve. People tend to think a resume gets them a job. A well-written resume is a personal marketing tool whose purpose is to get you an interview. Resumes give the employer a first impression of you, so make it a good one. A winning resume must give the right message to the company. Your resume must show your achievements and your value as an employee in an assertive, sharp, and proactive way.

Most people feel that their resume doesn’t look pretty or fancy enough. The truth is all resumes follow one of several basic formats, so they all look alike. There is no resume that is better or more extraordinary looking. Your resume will be effective enough when you choose a format and start filling it in with skills from your previous or current job. Some information a basic resume should include are an objective or resume profile, achievements, work experience, and education.

HOMONYM as defined by Wikipedia

Homonym

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For homonyms in scientific nomenclature, see Homonym (biology).

In linguistics, a homonym is one of a group of words that share the same pronunciation but have different meanings, and are usually spelled the same. Some sources only require that homonyms share the same spelling or pronunciation (in addition to having different meanings), but these are the definitions most other sources give for homographs and homophones respectively. The state of being a homonym is called homonymy. Examples of homonyms are stalk (which can mean either part of a plant or to follow someone around), bear (animal) and bear (carry), left (opposite of right) and left (past tense of leave). Some sources also consider the following trio of words to be homonyms, but others designate them as "only" homophones: to, too and two (actually, to, to, too, too and two, being "for the purpose of" as in "to make it easier", the opposite of "from", also, excessively, and "2", respectively). Some sources state that homonym meanings must be unrelated in origin (rather than just different). Thus right (correct) and right (opposed to left) would be polysemous (see below) and not be homonyms.
