RESUME WRITING RESOURCES
This site is a collection of free
resume writing advice, but
if you need more help, you can also check out these other great
resources.
Your Options for Resume Help
In Resume Help - Your Options,
I outline some of the different free and paid resume help options
available to you as you start your job search.
This section of the site includes everything from our free resume
writing course to advice on seeking professional help. (And my
course really should be step 1 if you're working on your resume
- it's pretty good, even if I do say so myself!)
Recommended Resume Books
We have also pulled together a list of our favorite resume writing
books (along with selections on career change, interviewng,
job search and career management) and you can find our recommendations
in our book
store. Every one of these books has been personally selected,
so we know you'll find them helpful.
Other Resume Resources
While we hope you'll find all you need on our site, we know
you might need extra help, and that's why we've also collected
some links to other resume
writing resources from across the
web.
Advice on Choosing a Professional Resume Writer
If you want professional help with your resume, read our article
on How to choose a resume
writer before you make your decision.
Many people make the mistake of shopping for a resume writer
based on price, but I strongly advise against this. Honestly,
if you can't afford to hire a great writer, you would be better
served to learn
all you can and do the work yourself.
Instead, you should choose a professional based on their ability
and experience, as well as your comfort level with their process,
and my article explains
the most important criteria.
Additional Resources
In addition to the articles on this site, we provide 3 great
options for resume help.
