True or False: When writing a resume, you should highlight all of your qualifications and accomplishments, list your previous employers, starting with the most recent and working backwards, and arrange the resume in such a way that it can be used for multiple job applications in a variety of fields. If you answered False, good!

The key to writing a successful resume is to tailor it to fit the type of position you are applying for, not to generalize it so you can just make twenty copies at Kinko's and scatter them all over office supply stores, accounting firms, and zoos (what? People work at the zoo...). What's the best way to create a functional resume? I'm so glad you asked, and I'll give you a few easy steps that will answer that question and give you the tools you need to make your resume shine.
  1. The first step to develop a clear, concise, and creative resume is to start with a good template. A carpenter doesn't build a house without a blueprint, at least a good carpenter doesn't, and so you should have a blueprint as well. As is discussed in one of the other articles, "How to Download Resume Templates," there are many websites that can give good advice and offer examples to make your resume stand out from the pack.

    A site I highly recommend investigating is www.microsoft.com. Yes, you can purchase and download the latest version of Zoo Tycoon or Halo for your gaming needs, but you can also download, for FREE, an almost endless number of resume templates in a variety of different categories. You can check out basic resume outlines, as well as job-specific and situation-specific examples (such as resumes for a career change or for an entry-level or executive position). You can even find examples and templates for cover letters as well as references and recommendations.
