any good links on how to do a resume?
I'm putting together my resume again and I wouldn't mind giving it a fresh/current look. Can anyone recommend some good links for format, style, content etc for resumes?
Thanks!

Re: any good links on how to do a resume?
MS Word has templates.
Google will give you a gazillion examples, even some specific to your field.

I don't have any off the top of my head, but I would stress NOT using a template for your resume (advice from my career advisors from college). If you're looking for a business type job, this is advice that I can give, based on what my career advisors have told me:
- Have only ONE page (employers are likely to throw out a resume that exceeds one page) (This first piece of advice might only be relevant to people who are trying to enter into their first job after college, but it's what I was taught so I thought I'd include it)
- Use
appropriate action words (look online for resume action words, you want
to use catchy ones and vary it up), also make sure that if you're
currently doing it, it's in present tense and if you already did it,
it's in past tense...dont include anything that you plan to do in the
future)
- Do NOT use templates from Microsoft Word
- Don't use any fancy fonts/colors, etc. Simple is good....and stick to only one font. You can change between italics and bold and regular, as long as you're consistent in where you use it (ex. headings in bold, time you worked at a job in italics, most of your content in normal font, etc)
- Check spelling/grammar! Best advice, have someone else check it after you've checked it.
- Don't embellish anything...employers will likely test your knowledge
in the interview, so being honest is best. If you know another
language, don't overestimate your abilities
- Put the category
that is most relevant for you first. e.g. for me, my education is my
most valuable asset, for you it might be your job.
Hope this is helpful advice! It helped me to land a great job so I hope it helps you out too!
