The act of learning how to do something because it will look cool, or because it will sound good if you say you can do it.

One of those (usually upper-middle class white) assholes that only does anything to put on their resume, or to look better for colleges. They join lots of clubs and organizations, but never put any effort into them, or put in the minimum effort to remain a member; they've been out of more groups than you've been a part of, especially groups that look good on paper but don't actually do anything (the kids that start "charities" in high school and write their college app letters on how their trip to Ghana changed their lives are a prime example). They don't actually care about anything other than the nebulous goal of "achievement".
Often a premed.
Alice: Carol just joined the physics club!
Bob: Yeah, but she's just a resume kid, so she'll never actually come to meetings.

Something you say sarcastically to your boss when they constantly ask you to do work that's not in your job description or some lazy co-workers'responsibility.
Boss: Hey Steve, can you go pick me up a birthday card for my wife?
Steve: Because that's on my resume.

Boss: Hi Mary, Steve screwed up our quarterly stats again. Do me a fave and fix it by tomorrow?
Mary: (sarcastic eye-roll) Yeah because that's on my resume! Glad Steve makes $10G's more than me.
