While you can find lots of help writing a resume online for free and examples of resume writing, if you read through this article, you’ll pick up some useful free resume writing tips.
Before you get down to some serious resume writing, how about taking a few minutes to think about each position that you’ve held, and what you accomplished while you held that position. You want to be sure to include your accomplishments in your resume and not just list a bunch of tasks performed.

** Presents important information first
** Organized - doesn't go over two pages

** Who are you and how can you be reached?
** What do you want to do?
** What have you learned?
** What can you do? What have you done?
** How have you been recognized for your achievements?
** What else do they want to know about you?
