I often hear from people who have the hardest time writing their cover letter, which I posted some examples for in last week's post.Of course, now people are asking - how do I write a resume, especially after I was posting information on the 10 resume red flags in that day's post. So if you're looking to get started writing your resume, or refining it, this is a good resource, with lots of samples on the basics. Now, if you read the prior post linked above, then you're going to notice that some of the red flags are raised in these samples, but if you don't know where to start, or just want to see what you might be missing, these sample resumes can be a fantastic source of help.
In my experience, sometimes you take from two to three resources and combine them - creating something that is uniquely yours, that highlights your skills and doesn't fall to the bottom of the pile. Of course, there are always those resumes that are on thick stock, or look like they're almost a book, but just because you stand out, doesn't mean your resume is the best - it just means that when someone is hiring you they may think, 'pretty package, but nothing inside'.
Happy Hunting!
