Question:
I am interested in writing my own job resume and I would like to know how
to do it. I'm a beginner with the computer and would also like to know if
there is any freeware that can be downloaded in reference to job resume
formats. I currently have Word 97 and Corel Wordperfect7
Answer:
-If you search from yahoo.com using the keywords resume help, or resume, you
will find several sites for this purpose. Here is one.

-Let me apologize for those who may have sounded just a tad bit unkind. This
is a Windows 98 list, and it emphasizes setup problems. If you are using
Windows 98 and you wanted to setup a program so you could work on a resume,
I think your post was all right. It also received a few responses, and that
means it worked (and isn't that the important thing).
Welcome to the world of Windows, and please keep this group in mind when/if
you do need help with a computing problem relative to Windows 98.
Incidentally, most of the major word processing programs, Word, WordPerfect,
WordPro, etc., have excellent resume' templates. One of them should work for
you very nicely. In fact, I believe that Microsoft Words 2000 (if not other
versions) has a resume' tool.
-Word 97 has a template for doing resumes. That would get you started.
The MSN home page, most of the time, has a very nice link to articles on
resume writing. The homepage is www.msn.com, and look around. Since the
content changes several times a day, don't be discouraged if it isn't there
the first time you look. (The "Find a Job" standard link on that page also
pulls together data from a large number of online job banks and could be
quite useful. It has a lot of useful tips on job hunting.)
Possibly the best job board online is www.careerpath.com. (They're second
largest at the moment. A lot of people like Monster better, but the
ads/postings seem to be much staler. Heck, try them both.)
