8. Job Application vs Resume
An "official document" required by human resources covering career and educational history.
Kept in your personnel employment file permanently if you are selected for employment
Includes a statement of faith / an oath that the information you provided on the application is true and accurate to the best of your knowledge, including your signature.
These documents can also be used in a court of law, with your signature and oath.
Require full employment dates,name of previous supervisors to verify your employment; education, GPA
Short and sweet with very few descriptions
An introduction, networking document, and career history summary with details
This document is used for networking with recruiters, and to apply for jobs online or via the mail.
Your resume does not have specific requirements like an application, i.e., it does not require an oath statement.
Interestingly, the information you provide on a resume is often compared with information provided on a job application—which means the two documents should come very close to matching for critical information.
