How Do You Write A Resume

Maureen Said:

If you were looking for a resume writer, where would you go to start looking first? What would you pay?

We Answered:

Advertise for free at www.craigslist.org...That is where I went to find a resume writer.

Also, print business cards (staples has them, 1000 cards fr 19.99) and make sure that your site is printed on there) give these out to any and everyone you meet, send them to friends that live out of state so that they can give them to people as well.

You can contact the Human resources Dept in major firms and offer to send them a hard copy business card or pamphlet (instead of an email) that they can include in the severance packages of terminated employees.

Erica Said:

How much would you pay for a professional resume?

We Answered:

Probably $25. Too little for you to set up a major business; but it could be an excellent sideline job.

Ricardo Said:

what are some of the best resume templates or resume help out there?

We Answered:

I would suggest you take some professional help (for FREE) from MS word which has inbuilt resume templates for making your resume.

You can also follow the step-by-step instruction to make your free resume, using the resume builder provided with MS office.

Resume styles differ according to profession, and sources of sample resumes are available in my profile, check my profile for more details, all the best :)

"How do you write a professionally well written resume?

We Answered:

The internet is actually a great tool for resume' writing. Just Google search "Resume' Samples" and quite a few results should pop up. Never copy those sample resume's (obviously), but it will give you an idea of how the format should be and what kind of information you should include.

Some rules that I always go by include:

***Always put your full name at the very top, in large writing, and possibly even in bold. You want to stand out. The most important part of being considered for a job is if they can remember WHO you are.

***Make sure all your font is legible. Times New Roman or Ariel is always a safe bet. Try to keep your font at a normal size as well. 12-14 is usually large enough to read, but small enough so it doesn't appear overwhelming. Your resume' should also really only be one page long. Remember, a resume' is just an outline of your credentials. You don't want to give a place of employment a novel about how good you are. They just want to see the facts.

***Include your basic contact information somewhere near your name at the top of the page. (Again, once you see some samples you will have a much better idea of how to format your resume'). Contact information should include your current address, current phone number that you are most easily reached at, and e-mail address. You want to give them as many options as possible to contact you.

***Usually I divide my resume' up into sections. You can chose what you put on the resume', and most of the time the information you provide is specific for the job you want. Here's a few catagory ideas to keep in mind: "Community Service and Volunteer Work", "Education", "Special Skills", "Previous Work Experience".

***NEVER lie on a resume'. No matter how good it looks or how good you think it sounds; eventually someone will find out, and you will be very very sorry.

***Always include a cover letter, unless the employer specifically asks you not to. Again, just Google search "Cover Letter Samples" and you will get an idea of what that is supposed to look like as well. A cover letter should be no more than a few paragraphs, certainly do longer than a page.

Good luck! :)
