Quick Reumes Work Best Write Yours In Less Than An Hour

Write Your Résumé in an Hour Natalie Ostrom, Jist Publishing

Too often people spend so much time trying to perfect their résumé, they lose sight of their real goal -- to find a job. You've probably heard your friends, family members or even yourself say that you will start looking for that new job as soon as you get your résumé put together. And then a month or year passes and you still haven't finished the first step toward a new career. Résumés don't have to be hard to create, they don't have to be time-consuming, and they don't have to be intimidating.

Plain and simple: a résumé is a one- or two-page summary of your life and employment history. According to Michael Farr, author of "Same-Day Résumé" (JIST), before you begin the writing process, you should learn what to expect from your résumé.

"As a first step in creating a résumé, examine what a résumé is and consider what it can and cannot do," Farr says.

A résumé presents you to prospective employers. It serves as your introduction and is often used in their screening process. It may get you an interview and it may not, it all depends on what that particular employer is looking for in a new employee.
