4 Sites with Examples of Nice Resumes

I found 4 good websites for help with writing a resume...

• As with learning how to do anything these days, I found WikiHow to be a good resume building resource. They have free templates that can be exported to Word or PDF, sample resumes, and tips on how to format a resume. This site was great because it was straight and to the point and provided a great array of resources. 

• Business Insider put out a great article in their career section last year about how to write a great resume called "19 Reasons Why This Is An Excellent Resume". In this article they posted a resume and explained specifically why this is a good resume and what jobseekers are looking for. The site also provides tips about what not to include in your resume, just as equally important information. I really liked this resource because of how much it focused on the jobseeker and what they are looking for, not just the type of information that should be included. There is even a link off to the side of the page for a free template download. 

•  Microsoft Office allows you to download templates directly from their website, with various types of resumes from general entry-level to those as specific as for a computer programmer. While the site does not give specific examples of resumes, such as one that someone may have written up for their own purposes, I like this resource because it is directly compatible with Word and provides a wide variety of template options for various career categories albeit generic information about what to include. 

• I liked Career Perfect as another resume building website. While a variety of their career advancement services are not free, they do have various free sample resumes for download for various job fields including healthcare, banking, and sales management; they even have a section for recent graduates and students. Another feature I found particularly interesting about this site was that they also had cover letter examples, another document jobseekers commonly ask for along with a resume.
