I have a lot of experience with both types of resumes. It shouldn’t look like your job resume. A job resume has a lot more detail about your job. Someone once sent me a shidduch resume that looked like a job resume. It bothered me; it made the guy sound very gaavadik because there was so much detail about his professional successes. A shidduch resume should mention what you do professionally but it doesn’t need a lot of detail. It is enough to write (for example) that you are a computer programmer and possibly the place where you work. There should be more details about your personality and hashkafos and values and goals in life and what you are looking for in a spouse. Those are the kinds of things your future spouse wants to hear about.

There was another thread in which someone asked a similar question, and I gave them a detailed response. I will find it & tell you what it was.
