Does anyone know of a Web Site that walks one through writing a resume? |
Does anyone know of a Web Site that walks one through writing a resume? Microsoft Word has some resume examples that you can use - just see what's written, change it to be about you and you're done. Most computers have a resume wizard that will walk you through it. I love Microsoft Word. There are different templates that you can choose from when creating your resume. Hi, There are numerous sites that help you write a very good resume. You can visit http://www.positionadvice.info and get some useful tips. Good luck! I went to this website and did a search for you for "write a resume" and it came up with lots of good stuff. This is a very precise, business-focused search site. I'm sure several of these will be able to help you. Good luck! http://www.bzdot.com/bizinfo/search.php?... bzdot.com Another trick - Google the type of resume you want to create in Google images. For example, "Marketing Resume." It will pull up images of other people's resumes that are posted online. Great resource for phrases and styles to use. Good luck! Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips: 1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc. 2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer; 3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned; 4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.; 5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left; 6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly; 7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues; 8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase; 9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc. In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. If the original resume was created in Word, WordPerfect or Mac Appleworks, it can be Saved As a PDF file which then can be saved as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can simply use a scanner and scan a hard copy of the resume and then save as a PDF file. Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries. Good luck! |
