[Serious] Resumé

[Xcoder]

Do you guys have a good Resumé example I can take a look at?

[Fromethius]

Google might.

[ProphetBeal]

I would let you look at mine, but it sucks. Try this...

Thanks guys, which of those in google have you used?

There are also resumé templates in MS Word.

Also search for the term "Curriculum Vitae" as this is the international term for what the Yanks call a Resumé

Don't write things like:

"During the summer of 1998 I wrote a operating system in HTML, then i went backpacking around slough. My ppl skills are highly developed."

That's likely to get you a job as a Web-Developer.

Show them how diverse your skills are...port the HTML OS to XML!!

I could show you some good examples of a cover letter.

Office online and search throught the Word templates. Many to choose from.

On another note, is it a good idea to put all the projects that you have worked on in the resume? Or would it be better to just put roles and responsibilities for every company / client?

Do't use office templates to write your own cirriculum,
As it won't stand out between others unless you like to have a gray job at a gray compagny.

Use some graphical fun like a website layout if your solliciting for a webdesigner job. A techi look for software engineer in a technical sector etc...

Looks do not do everything but they surely can help.

Templates are just that, a template. Not a final or almost final version for your resume, just an outline. If you are going for a web dev position then doing a web layout may be good but allot of recruiters dont like anything outside the norm of standards. ie: background colors/patterns and pictures etc. as they usually only print the resumes in black and white.
