Writing Interview Winning Resumes Getting Your Resume Ready From Alison Doyle, your Guide to Job Searching Your resume is one of the most important job search tools you have. Getting your resume ready used to be relatively simple - write it, design it, format it, print it on good quality bond paper and send it off to prospective employers. The tremendous growth of internet recruiting has changed the process. Now, most of your resume submission will be online rather than on paper. How to Create a Professional Resume Your resume needs to be professional and polished, because if you don't have a professional resume, your application materials probably won't get a second glance from any hiring manager. VisualCV A VisualCV is an online resume that includes all the facets of a traditional resume, with add-ons like video, images, and links to your accomplishments. Resume Builders There are free online resume builders available. Some are provided by career sites like Monster and HotJobs as part of their registration/posting process. Others are independent and will help you create a resume you can use at a variety of job sites or offline. Resume Software Consider these software packages that help with resume writing and editing. Some are complete job-searching tools that also help you to job search online, distribute your resume, write employment-related letters, organize your job search, and even practice interviewing. . Resume Writing Services If this still seems like too much work, consider using a resume writing service. Need Help? Stop by the Job Search Forum for help, advice and answers to your questions.
