A public relations manager is central in managing the company's image in the media. The job description states that the domain of work of a person with this profile is company advertising and promotion, client management, business dealings, etc. The job is interesting and challenging, and so is hugely popular among the PR crazy generation. And, as the popularity of a job increases, the competition also increases, and so increases the significance of a resume.
Be it any job interview, the candidate has to carry a resume. This is a document which carries a brief account of the professional journey of the person. It has many fields, the most important one being objective. A well written CV plays a big role in the candidate bagging the job. One has to be very careful while designing the resume. I am saying this because the silliest of mistake can leave a bad impression on the recruiter. In this article, we have presented two examples, one for a freshman and the other one for an experienced person, along with a template.
