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!

Hi Megna,
Before you can create a 'resume' for another person or even yourself, you need to collect a detailed 'educational' and 'work-history'. You do this so that you may decide what to show in your resume.

Your resume should reflect those skills that are pertinent to the type of job you are seeking.

If you search the Internet (not difficult) by typing - 'How to write a Resume' in the search box of say Google, you will find plenty of information to guide you.

The basic layout for a resume is as follows:

Your name, address and phone number.
A stated objective that will indicate to the prospective employer why you want to work for them.
Example of an Objective:
Objective:
*To work with a <*Progressive Company> that values hard work and offers challenges for the skills I have to offer in <*Customer Service> so that I may make a positive contribution to my employer’s services by way of repeat business.

(*Please change to suit your requirements.)
Hint: Your local Library or the Internet will provide you with Job-Search information - the Library with Books written specifically for Career Change and Job Search.

Here's a list:

Allen. Jeffery G. - The Complete Q&A Job Interview Book - 4th Edition - ISBN 0-471-65125-7.
Beatty. Richard H. - The Resume Guide - 3rd Edition – ISBN0-471-12403-6.
Betrus. Michael CPRW - Perfect Phrases for Resumes. ISBN 0-07-145405-5
Bolles. Richard N – What Color Is Your Parachute? Job Hunter and Career Changers Manual
ISBN 1-58008-615-2.

Garside. Philip - The Secrets to getting a Job. ISBN 1-864-47097-6
Madero. Frank J. The Resume Guide. ISBN 1 74110 095 X. (How to write a winning resume)
Madero's Resume Guide is excellent because it provides a great selection of sample resumes.
"What Color is Your Parachute" is also an excellent reference because it covers Career Change and Job Search - I would recommend that you buy these two books because you will need to continually refer to them.

Hope to have been of some help.

How to create an acting resume with very little experience?

We Answered:

just simply write down a list of what show you were in, what year and what role. It always helps to keep track of what work you have done for future reference. If you are looking to make it proffesional, then you would need some head shots ect... it all depends on what you would use it for. Me, I have one written down for my personal use for auditions and future interviews for college.
