Resume Help

BDBopper · 07-26-2008, 08:04 AM

I really need to write a resume for myself. However I've never done it before Would y'all be willing to help me. No I am not asking y'all to do it for me. That would be cheating. All I am asking for is advice and feedback.

The best way to write one is to see samples of resumes and pick a style that suits the kind of work/education you've had.

I know I'm a broken record, but your local library is a great resource for books on resume samples. Ours has a ton of different ones, like "resumes for the tech industry", "resumes for educators", etc. These are very popular. There are also a lot of books on how to go about finding and landing the job you want.

If you post your resume first draft I'd be happy to give you some constructive criticism. I'd advise that you take out any personal info like full name, address and phone number before posting it here.

Good luck

MS Word has resume templates as well, so don't feel stressed over formatting it yourself.

I second CP too and research the format that best suits your needs.
