    Resume Help! (+rep & maybe payment?)

    I've never written a resume before. I'm about to apply for a job that I'd really like, and it requires a resume. I'd like someone to either help me write one or make me a template I can fill in. The thing I'm having trouble with is the objective, everything else is pretty simple.

    Tips are also appreciated.

    If you write me one and you'd like payment, we can discuss something.

    Wow, I knew my comm. tech. course would come in handy for something..

    Just last week I was taught how to make a resume, professionally.

    Edit: Was checking my school website for the class notes and of course, it goes down. If I can get them I'll send em, if not I'll write you a PM. This is for both cover letters and resumes too.

    If you have Microsoft word, they have resume templates you can use and basically just fill in your information in the spots they give you. It has been awhile since I have done it, but I am pretty sure they have professional resumes as one of the templates.

    Microsoft publisher has many templates that you can use, they have a sort of fill in the blanks type thing. With the wording of it I can help you on somethings that I know of. Saying punctual instead of on time sounds more professional, and little things like that.

    follow sparklings post, just edit and replace where necessary, but keep this in mind, there are different types of resumes, and not all of them need the objectives part, try googling, that's what i did when i need to do a resume, i can always find a template to use on there, and edit/replace where necessary
    just report it and ignore it.

    Couldn't find the papers we got in class but that's what we were given as an example pretty much.

    As for a cover letter, you should only submit a cover letter to any big company/job you are applying for. A place that provides an application like fast food (McDonalds) does not need a cover letter at all.

    First thing you should never include in your cover letter is social taboo... meaning never ask for an interview, or suggest an interview will even happen.

    First paragraph should include the position you are applying for, where you saw the advertisement. Put a sentence saying something like your experience and education would qualify you for the position.

    Middle paragraph is the summary of your education + experience, 3-5 sentences max.

    Last paragraph is your conclusion. State that your resume is attached and whatnot, look forward to meeting with the person reading your application. Include contact information too.

    Sign with pen.
