Resume' assistance

I just thought I would check and ask if anyone could assist me is formating an updated and more professional resume'?

If not no harm no foul.

 

Sure. Post it.

If details matter to you, use "resume" (English) or "résumé" (French). "Resumé" is a half breed, and "resume'" as you did it is a corruption of a corruption.

é can be done on a PC by holding down the ALT key and typing 130.

And, yes, I know I'm being an extreme nitpick.

Thanks anyway but I am going to take a different path.

Man I wish my $50 would allow me to delete my own threads.

 

Are you looking for assistance on the formatting only or also on the content? If the latter, post your request in the jobs section of the Business forum and you will get a lot of good help.

 

Employers want to know what you are capable of. In your experience, make sure you mention accomplishments and responsibilities that show this potential. Don't talk about specific tasks. Rather, paint an overall picture that shows what you can take on and excel at and how you exceeded expectations.

Obviously, grammar, formatting, spelling and mechanics must be perfect. It should also be easy on the eyes. Have lots of white space to cleanly separate out the distinct areas. Use a professional font.

Finally, your language needs to be top-notch. Revise it again and again. Then refine it so you say what you need with a minimum of verbiage and with good vocabulary that is appropriate, not over the top. Succinct and polished, not wordy and lacking in sophistication.

Good luck.

 

Thanks for the input and the suggestions offered as they were spot on with my current format which was pieced together for me yet it has not been updated in some time ie years. I started this thread before I realized I want to keep such info private so I will most likely be utilizing an outside source, not that it will help though but thanks anyway.

 

Make it as is as simple as possible mate. Highlight your achievements, ie how you helped to save $$$ in your past company, etc. a great cover letter would really help...
