résumé
noun /ˈɹɛ.zʊˌmeɪ,ˈɹɛz.uːˌmeɪ,ˈɻe.zʊ.me/

The match between Stiegler and Xanadu was doubly unlikely; not only was Stiegler happily unemployed, but the Xanadu programmers did not seem to place high value on management personnel. As Stiegler tells it, the original plan during the first days at Autodesk was to get somebody with a good résumé and stick him in a closet until somebody from Autodesk came to visit, at which point the obedient manager could be trotted out to prove that the hackers were under control. This was hardly Stieglers style.

b) A summary or synopsis.

However, a brief résumé of recent weddings, royal and otherwise, reveals that Edward and Sophies big day could be in danger of being badly out of step.
