Most current word processors (Word, WordPerfect, etc) have templates for resumes. Start with the template and fill in your information and print it out. Then go to a website that gives you tips and do some editing (power/action words and stuff). Try to keep it to one page if possible, because if the HR staff has a stack to wade through, they aren't going to spend too much time on each one. Put the most pertinent things to the job you are applying on first, then if you have space, you can add the rest in.

Don't do a resume on your own. It's worth the money to have a professional to do it. And no need to tip.

i like the Word template for resumes. It takes even my crappy starvin artist ass and turns it into a true professional without lying about a thing

Make up a work place with a fake address and number and say they went out of business, but give the name of a friend as a reference to that place. Most people wont bother to call it if you say they went out of business but if they do you friend can cover for u, just make up some nice job roles you did.
And include a personal statement about what your mission goal is at the company. And hand deliver your resume whenever possible to the HR person, never to a secretary

1) Customize your resume for what you are doing. Often people put unrelated work history in thier resume making it difficult for the employer to assess your experience. If you're going for a plumbing job, every job on there MUST relate to plumbing. Make sure you explain the position in the bullets underneath to somehow relate it to the job you are applying for.

Eg:

1992: Secretary
- Managed Plumbing Supply Orders

Etc.

2) If you're applying for a developer's position, make sure you put your portfolio of URL's on there, or have a link to a personal website where they can do more research if they want to.

3) Customize the Word template, if you are using them. Make your resume stand out. Cookie cutter resumes are sometime ignored. Changing the font helps, but make SURE its clean, professional and legibile. DO NOT use clip art, borders, or patterns. The debate on color in your resume is ongoing. I recommend it if the position you are going for is a creative one. For all others, I recommend against it.

4) MAKE SURE all of you information is up to date.

5) Do not put a salary or salary range. I don't care what people tell you. Just don't do it.

Also, double and triple check spelling. It will absolutely make a difference if you have an error, because most people will chuck your resume away at a mistake like that.

I agree about salary range. Don't bring up salary until you're in an interview and they ask you specifically. If a company is asking you to send them a resume with salary requirements, they're sketchy.

YAY! Congrats on getting the interview. Hopefully it will be your only one :) I was going to tell you also, make sure it is just one page (like someone said) and when you send it, make sure you have an actual persons name on cover letter! Never To whom it may concern! My stepdad said they throw resumes out that don't have a name. "If they can't take time to find out who to send it to, why would I want them working here?" Good luck :)

Unless you're applying to be the head football coach at ND, then i say lie. Lying on your resume, prostitution, stealing cable, arson: they're all victimless crimes.

microsoft word is my best friend when im doign resumes.
also try monster.com if no one sent you there already.

yeah pretty much jeff said it all- be brief but highlight all your accomplishments. Also- put in an interests section because lets say you just happen to know how to read spanish- they might like that alot.
Also- a nice clear font in about size 12, and remember at the bottom "REFERENCES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST"- put references on the application, not the resume.
