General content. So in this particular lecture, we're just going to go through the various paragraphs various sections of the resume at a high level and later on in the next lecture, we go through detailed analysis of each subsection of a resume. So first and foremost you have the General Information section. So in this particular section, we have your contact details, your name and number, all the things about yourself. So in this section for instance, you will not put in you know your marital status and we'll go through more detail later what to put in. But in this section is general information about you about your you know, your contact details, who you are and what your name is.
The next the next section will be professional summary, or professional statement. This is just a statement of what your goals though, a summary of your resume your skills, and placed out front as well as your present situation. Have you know where you find yourself and where you want to go and how you will help that organization before, that is the professional statement section. Not all resumes have this, but we'll go into more detail later, exactly what to put in this particular section. Then you've got your key summaries, key skill summary section. In this particular section, you're going to look at all your key skills that you've developed over your career a little bit short, long, medium, these are all things that you want to show off, and we're going to make sure we're going to match them to the particular skills for the relevant job that you're applying for.
The next section is probably arguably the most important section and this is the employment summary section. So employment summary section is basically a history of all the things that you've done. And we're going to go into much more detail later about how to do this. But typically in most resume it's in reverse Chronicle logical order of your latest job that you presently have or just, you know, average From all the way to you know the past so reverse chronological order that's what we call next section would be something like education certificates. If you're a student your education and certificates will be up front if you're someone who has a fair bit of experience like three to five years your education and certificates will typically be at the you know, towards the end and so in this section obviously, you write down your qualifications in terms of university High School, and it's typically picked up longer and we're going to go into more detail what's relevant for finance professionals and financial analysts later on.
Next section possibly be interested in hobbies not all resumes have this but pretty self explanatory. What are you interested in hobbies? And we're going to go through exactly what you should put in and what you should not put in this section as it paints a overall picture of who you are and what you do. The next section here is languages do you speak many languages you speak 1234 bilingual multilingual, this is important just in case you are applying for a job that requires language skills. For instance, if you're you know, trading with China, for instance, you need to be a financial position for that. It will be an important very important and last one obviously would be references a lot of day, today, not every resume have references.
I like to put them in but it's always it's not necessary, as this is just a natural part of the process. And so, that is the general summary of the resume itself and we're about to go into more details.
