The document provides tips for writing a better resume in order to get a job. It notes that recruiters only spend 20 seconds looking at a resume initially. The purpose of a resume is to get the applicant an interview. A good resume should show the applicant's strengths, why they want to work in their industry, that they are curious, how they learn, and that they get things done. It should tell the recruiter what the applicant is, where they have been, and what they have accomplished.
