Ok, so I was just informed that I have been identified as a possible candidate for a job in Texas (through my current employer), and my boss wants a resume (to which, my resume from school does not apply). I didn't know if anyone had a base line resume I could use (or template) that I could use to assist me in making an up to date one for myself. Thanks.
seriously though, microsoft word comes stock with several resume templates and like lucky said, there are several more downloadable ones on the microsoft site.
Pete if you need a model let me know in a pm with your email address, and I will send you a copy of mine bro.
His resume is pretty good. I landed a mid-level manager job at a respectable firm just by changing the name and address. If you spruce it up a bit the sky is the limit..
btw.. FYI.... most hiring managers can give a rats *** about your "objective" they all know its a canned line and ussaly bypass it, I would HIGHLY recommend changing that from a Objective to a Professional summary and put 4 to 6 bullet points of your strong skills. it will stand out more and actually make the interviewer want to talk to you. Remember you are 1 of X people when applying for the job. Make them want you.
oh... and FYI.... my jobs for the last 8 years have involved reading resumes, from Technical(6 years) Graphical (1 year) and Medical (Current) if you need someone to go over your resume send me it, and give me a Description of the job your going for. I have always "edited" The mor Resume and he has never missed geting hired.
Thanks. You're like a month and a half late, but the job was mine anyways it seems. It was a more a formality that I put in a resume, and I did end up going with a professional resume as you described though. Honestly, I cannot even understand why I needed a resume based on what I have been doing.
