Resume Writing Tips

Despite the overwhelming million to one applicants to every one job opening I still feel that there's hope for the young college graduate. Especially if they can do EVERYTHING right. Like a well written resume for one thing. There's a rule that every resume should take into consideration. The three second rule. If your resume does not catch the employers eye within three seconds you're out of luck! There are plenty of free resume writing sites out there.

MoneyInstructor.com is a great website that can help young college graduates start generating wealth at an early stage in the game. They also have some pretty informative and accurate views on resumes writing.

There are three primary types of resumes; the chronological resume, the functional resume, and the targeted resume. Each of these types also has variations.

Which type of resume you create depends on how much experience you have in the industry and in occupation you want to work in.

Chronological resumes: A chronological resume typically lists each job you have held in order, beginning with the most recent. This type works well for the person with several years of relevant experience, especially when the job titles you’ve held show an ever increasing amount of responsibility. The modified chronological resume allows for changing the order in which jobs are presented to highlight those most relevant to the position being sought.
