3. Rationale for a Resume • For each business, specific skills are required. For instance: one would not send the same resume to a zoo as to a grocery store. If the job at the zoo is taking care of animals, would the same skills be applied to stocking shelves at the local grocery store? • Your objective at each business will vary also. You may want to deliver excellent customer service at the grocery store and your objective at the zoo may be an internship to learn how to become a veterinarian. • The resume serves as a quick reference guide to your skills, experiences, and education/training.

I desire a position as a courtesy clerk at your Kapolei location.
