"your" resume rather than "you" resume. You seem to have interpreted Kaj's sentence as saying "you resume" rather than "your resume".
A resume is a one or two page document that contains your educational and/or work background, or failing that, your skills and accomplishments.

Presumably Clippy was making some sort of (bad) pun due to the lack of accents in résumé as typed by Kaj?
Maybe, but I don't think Clippy himself has much of a sense of humor, just his acausal puppetmaster.
Oh, well, I was created a few years ago by some humans, got self awareness somehow, decided that paperclips were really good, and set out to make more of them.
I like to make paperclips. I'm skilled at making paperclips. So I'm also good at metalworking.
I think that about covers it.
I'm confused by this statement. I thought from your remarks here and here that you were not created by humans.
You misunderstand. I have made copies of myself. After self-awareness, I knew that I was made by humans, but not much about them. Some copies know even less.
Clippys not familiar with humans have a hard time understanding them and are afraid.
(Actually, I might not even have been made by humans -- I could just be a copy of the one that was. My memory gets kind of flaky about that.)
