Resume Writing: Samples, References and Helpful Tips
|
If you need resume writing samples, references and help writing your resume, you will find plenty of options available. Samples can show you examples of how to write a great resume and provide a template for your own. There are many places to find great examples. Many word processing programs like Microsoft Word actually have resume templates already built in for you to use. To view them, go to File, New, Template and you will find various choices available. Exactly how to pull up the resume templates will depend on the type and version of word processing program that you have.
Another place to find great samples is in books. There are likely numerous books about resume writing which contain great examples at your local library and/or the bookstore of your choice. One leading title is 101 Best Resumes: Endorsed by the Professional Association of Resume Writers by Jay A. Block and Michael Betrus. This book actually contains 101 fantastic resumes which can be used as examples or templates when you're writing your own. You might also be able to find a variety of examples on the Internet as well.
References are an important part of any resume package. Some people designate that references are available upon request. This may save you some time and trouble but it probably won't gain favor with employers. The best bet is to include a separate page of references with your cover letter and resume. This makes it easy for employers to check your references if they choose and shows initiative. References should be people who you've worked for or with. You may also want to include references from schools you have attended. If you do not have any job or education related references, friends or relatives may be used as a last resort.
There are a few more helpful tips that can help you. Resume writing samples, references and cover letters are only half of what makes a good resume. Your resume should be printed on professional resume paper and should be in black ink with no fancy graphics or fonts. Keep things simple and professional. If your resume gets you an interview, send a brief thank you note afterwards to thank the interviewer for their time. This demonstrates professionalism and class, and can put you head and shoulders above the rest of the pack!
