some research on formatting, and the

2. If you are a recent college graduate, make an appointment with your
school's placement office and tell them you would like to learn how to
make a resume They will be more than happy to assist you, but this
will probably require at least a few appointments requiring that you
travel back and forth to the campus to complete everything that
needs to be done If that is what works for you, more power to you

same results The World Wide Web has more websites than you
would believe all aimed at teaching you how to make a resume If
you have doubts, simply type "how to make a resume" into any
search engine and be astounded at the number of hits you get! If you

option, remember? One option out of several Research the different

satisfying to you
7. Just remember that your resume is seen as an extension of who you
are, to your prospective employer, at least So, there will always be
some basic rules for you to follow when learning how to make a
resume
8. Your resume must be absolutely error-free! You must be certain that
it is free of typos, as well as grammatical errors This is where an
adequate amount of time proofreading will be mandatory
9. It should be proofread several times by you, out loud and silently,
and by at least one other person An honest portrayal of your skills
and achievements is also essential; lying on a resume or even
exaggerating is a huge mistake and will usually always come back to
haunt you, most likely in the form of losing your job
10. Is it really worth it? A clean look to your resume, nothing too "busy,"
is a good rule of thumb, and make sure to leave enough white space;
you want your resume to be easy and pleasurable to look at and
read, or it just may not be looked at, at all! If you are worried about
fitting in all of the information that you need, instead of stuffing it all
onto one page, go to two pages That is preferable to a resume that
is a visual mess
11. I hope this has helped somewhat on your quest to learn how to
make a resume
