but gets to the basics of outlining how to put together a resume and organize
your thoughts concerning resume contents. There is also advice on resume
length and writing styles. This site isn't very long but is still worthwhile
to browse.

about the different parts, such as references, work history, etc, that
comprise a resume. There is even a sample resume and several examples of
words and phrases that could be used to sharpen a resume. This site is

more detailed information.

examples for writing a resume along with sections of verbs to include in
a resume and some useful tips to consider when writing a resume. The main

http://www.lgi.org/p257.htm
This website is very good at describing
the different types of resumes available to use and what their content
should be. The site is fairly short and is written text only, so it won't
take a very long time to browse through it. Towards the end there are two
useful parts to this website: one is a checklist to compare your resume
against in order to ensure that it is complete and the other is a look
at resumes through the eyes of an employer. Both features provide valuable
information that is not found on any of the other sites listed.
