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. 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!

Where Can I find a professional, Free Resume Template that Is easy to download?

We Answered:

You can find all sorts of templates - some free, some you pay for - but think about whether you need a strategy that helps you match your skills to the needs of an employer. Many people find more success when they tailor their resume to a particular job application.

Obviously this is more work than sending out a 'one size fits all' resume - but if it gets you an interview for a job you really want, it may be worth it. If you want to do some research, you could find out more about how to target your resume and look at different resume formats. Check out the site below for examples.

Is there a site, to get e free resume template?

We Answered:

Below are some sample resumes for your reference:

Here are some tips:
1. If you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page.
2. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.
3. Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results. Use action verbs.
4. If you are looking for your first job or intend to change job function / industry, you may want to state your objectives.
4. There is no one “correct” format. It depends on your profession and personal style.
5. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.

You can post your resume at:
http://www.monster.com
http://www.careerbuilder.com
http://hotjobs.yahoo.com

I would also go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find more examples and templates online if you do a search.

Good luck and have a nice day.
