| Dear Readers: Assalamo alaikum wa rahmatullah.‘Knowledge is Power’ is a time honored quote. As Muslims (men and women), we are obligated to seek knowledge, both religious and secular. We are committed to inspiring and enabling all concerned to fulfill this sacred obligation. While the importance of secular knowledge is somewhat self-evident, that of religious knowledge needs some reflection and soul searching.To practice our faith, we need to know our faith. As noted by Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih Vab, in his Friday sermon of August 16, 2013, new converts to Islam Ahmadiyyat are naturally more conscientious of their faith than the born Ahmadi Muslims. Therefore, we all need to diligently study the Writings (Roohani Khazain) of the Imam of this Age, Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad(as) to gain firsthand knowledge of our faith.You can select and start with any of these writings, individually or collectively as a family or a study group. Please keep us posted with your progress. You can even take credit for studying the book(s) prescribed by your respective auxiliary syllabus. We will annually recognize your progress nationally. Insha-Allah. Please stay tuned for more administrative details. May Allah help us all in this humble endeavor. Ameen.All students are requested to register at register here to update the National Student Database. For younger students, all parents are requested to register their children.Wassalam, Nasir M Malik Ta’lim Secretary AMC-USA |

So, a resume should be easy to read, concise, descriptive to your skills and targeted to the specific job.Here are some important points to create a good resume.
