« BPL blues | Main | College Saving Skills (Not Involving Ramen) » Friday, January 12, 2007New year, new resumeAfter having the same resume for nearly 3 years, I thought it was time for an update. I wish I had thought of it before--because then I would have found www.resumetemplates.org much sooner. While the site name is unassuming and sounds uninspiring, it actually provides a helpful step-by-step guide to making your cover letter and resume great. It also answers some of those age-old "do I or don't I..?" questions that come along with resumes. (Should I always write an "objective" statement at the top? In what order should I list my information? Should my references be on a seperate sheet?) The site also includes sample resumes for several professions on file, as well as advice for job interviews and a thank-you note template. Now all you have to do is figure out a way to cram everything you've done in your lifetime onto one attractively bulleted piece of paper (www.resumetemplates.com hint: use Arial font, and shrink the sizes between lines to 8 point.)
