Resume Writing

I'm looking for a great online resume writing resource, where should I start?

I am trying to discover the most effective way to write an eye catching resume. What online resouces will assist me?


Referring back to your question:

"I am trying to discover the most effective way to 'write' an eye catching resume. "

This trick is not to write it, but create it. Think about a brochure with a lot of text... what catches you eye, the 500 words written on the page or how it's designed? Your resume should be considered a sales tool (like a brochure) and the product you are selling is you! Even if those 500 hundred words were brilliant, what if the brochure itself was printed on a white piece of paper with an inkjet printer? Would you be interested or intrigued enough to read it?

Statically it's been shown that on average for every 200 resumes submitted for a position, only 1 is granted an interview. I actually think the odds are even less these days. You only have about 10 seconds to convince the person look at your resume to read it.

What you need to do is learn how to make your resume into a presentation piece that will bring you to the top of the pile. While having a well written resume is important, in order to get it read it should look amazing!

So few people do this that if you do you are sure to increase your odds.
