Resume, resumé, or résumé?
Ok, so I consider myself to be a grammar/punctuation Nazi (if I may use the term).
Despite what may be considered the norm, or even what may appear in dictionaries, the proper way to spell "that paper you create with all your jobs, skills and education", is: résumé. (By the way, to create the "é", you hold ALT and press 0233)
Rarely, I think, would an employer ever mention the accent marks or lack thereof but using them shows a level of education and intelligence. It certainly doesn't hurt and it only takes an extra moment of your time. Pride yourself in learning to write well, don't cut corners and you'll do well in life.
Also I would like to mention that this thread of conversation/argument has been going on for almost six years now. Awesome.
