Help please: Resume?

Question

Where can i go to get help with writing a resume?

Answer 1

Monster.com is a good one also CareerBuilder.com. If you can afford it there are places near me called Resumes.Inc. They did a resume for me that sounded and looked so good I wanted to hire me.

Answer 2

I think that resumes are sometimes industry-specific. For instance, I'm a computer guy, and I know that IT resumes are sometimes much different than, say, social workers resumes.

You can get a good start using the resume wizards in most word processors.

A good rule of thumb is to put down the info that you home the interviewer would write down in their notes if they were talking to you.

If you know that the resume will simply be entered into a database, then feel free to include everything that you think might help you come up in a "key word" search.

Answer 3

Things you should have in a basic resume or curriculum vitae:

1. Your name

2. Position Applied For - What position are you applying for

3. Current / Expected Salary - Note down your current / expected salary

4. Objective - This summarizes what are your goals in your career / Why you want to join the particular company

5. Personal details - List down what you want the interviewer to know about you here like age, date of birth, identitiy card/national security number, race/ethnicity, religion, address, phone number (don't ever forget this!), nationality etc. The order is up to you.

6. Educational Background - List down your academic qualifications/history from the highest to lowest level (example from Master degree to High School diploma)

7. Employment History - List down your 3 most recent jobs or all if there is space from the most recent/currnet to the oldest. Note down what position, what company, how much is you salary, what are your key responsibilities & reason for leaving. Include your current job as well

8. Reference - List down at least 3 contacts here as your referee, preferably not a family member, someone who has known you a while and preferably your previous superior who can tell poeple about how you work.

You can add/customize more details as you see fit. This is just a basic info...

Msg me if you need a more detailed example...Maybe I can forward you a document or something...

Alternatively, Microsoft Office - Words has a ResumeWizard. You can use that as well.

Good Luck!

Answer 4

The Library would be the best place to get information when it comes to a resume..
