means A document summarizing your work history, skills, and qualifications, typically submitted when applying for a job.

from From French résumé, meaning 'summed up' or 'summarized' — the past participle of résumer, 'to sum up,' which traces back to Latin resumere, 'to take up again' (re-, 'again,' plus sumere, 'to take'). So a résumé is, quite literally, your life 'taken up again' in condensed form. The same Latin root gives us the verb resume — to pick something back up — making the noun and verb cousins separated only by a couple of accent marks.
