Search by your job niche. The simplest—and most transferable—way to look at resume samples is to enter your career and “resume samples” into a search engine. Whether you’re an engineer or an attorney, there is a sample out there that matches your career!

Look for resume writing companies. There are plenty of online resume writing services available today, and many of them post sample resumes that can give you a jumping-off point for your own endeavor. Of course, they’ll want you to pay to see more and have them write your resume, but there’s no need to spend money to find samples. Simply move on if their best stuff is under wraps.

Use a resume template. Once you’ve seen a variety of completed resume samples, try out a free resume template. Lots of sites offer versions, so simply use a browser to search for “resume templates.” It’ll give you step-by-step listings of what goes into typical resumes.

Poll your friends. If you know someone in your own field, by all means, ask to take a look at his resume. If not, it’s still useful to glance through the resumes of your (gainfully-employed) friends. Pay particular attention to pals who have great jobs, have similar educations or backgrounds as you, or who recently switched jobs (they’ll have an up-to-date resume).

 

Making it your own. Save your favorite resumes or templates to a file so you can don't lose track of potentially helpful models. Then use these tips to make other people's words and experiences your own.

• Start with something similar. If you have a unique job with qualifications, experiences, or skills that most other people can't relate to, your best bet is to find samples of resumes from people in your specific career. If you're pursuing a fairly common position but are attempting something new in regard to your resume-a new format, for example-you want to find a resume style that most closely matches your ideal. If you're a graphic designer attempting a functional resume for the first time, you're far better off modeling yours after a functional teaching resume than a chronological resume from another graphic designer....
