How Many “Apps” Do You Have on Your Résumé?

The acronym “Apps” is an abbreviation for application. It is a software that can run on the Internet, your computer, your phone, and other electronic devices.

Program Your Own Apps into Your Résumé

A résumé app is a message you communicate to a prospective employer that clearly states what applications you can generate, deliver, and master that produce significant results worthy of getting hired.  Let me list just a few of the thousands of employment apps that could be programmed into a résumé.
