Question:
I'm looking for a program that will help me create a resume...If theres
nybody in here that knows of one, can you post a link thanks
Answer:
- Every program I have seen has not been very good. The best thing to do
if you have need help on a resume is to search for examples on the web.
Resume creators are horrible.
- I believe this is true. You really need to spend time on this yourself
with a word processor. I have been to a course that suggested the
C.A.R. principle; i.e Challenges, Actions and Results. What it means
is, for every Challenge, what were your Actions and what were the
Results? I found this simple principle to be quite useful when I wrote
my resume.

are my thoughts why, how and what you can do with a web resume to
enhance your job hunt:
- Visually exciting resumes get noticed and remembered.
- An online resume implies a higher level of Internet sophistication.
- Links to other web pages enhance depth and add credibility.
- The built-in spell checker ensures correct spelling of text.

- Let me amend my comments as not to sound harsh. There is no "silver
bullet for resume creation. The tools I have seen save in their own
format only and look (formatted) horrible.
What I did (5 years ago) was to do a web search and I found about 5-10
differemt styles of resumes that I liked. I "borrowed" elements from
each and created what I wanted. As I interviewed, I asked the mgrs and
HR what they did and did not like my resume. Many of them said the same
thing...it looks like a person created it, not a program. That was
enough for me.
Pick up a copy of "The Blair Handbook" and you will find examples that
you can use as a starting point. Remember, a resume is used as a sales
tool to promote you. If it looks generic, what are you saying about
yourself?
