A resume is a summary of your credentials, skills, and work experiences, written in a professional format. The intention is to gain an employer’s interest in order to secure a job interview. A resume must be short, free of errors, and organized well.

Since employers receive hundreds (or thousands!) of resumes, your resume must be written properly and also stand out from the crowd. Employers will ignore resumes with mistakes, missing information, or improper formatting. Therefore, a proper resume is crucial in securing a job for the future.

There are many different styles and layouts for resumes. And each profession has a unique resume style required. So how does a person create a professional, well-planned resume? Well, the use of a sample resume can be very beneficial. Sample resumes can keep you guided while you write your own resume, and can also help you manage key features of readability and presentation. Using a sample resume can ensure you do not miss any important resume features and can also give you an idea of what a resume should look like if you are new to writing one. Many websites that offer resume examples also have tips available on resumes, cover letters, and job hunting. They also often offer resume building services, where you can import your unique skills and information into an available format. Therefore, using a resume sample can relieve some of your anxiety about writing your own resume.

LiveCareer is another site that offers assistance with resume writing. This company has won awards as an outstanding website and a top employment website. They have a step-by-step process for writing resumes, where you can start from scratch or upload your own resume and receive assistance with it. They have resume templates and samples, as well as resume writing tips. This service has support available 24/7 via Live Chat, e-mail, or phone. Hundreds of resume templates are available and are able to be used quickly. For those uploading their own resume, the resume test evaluates it using criteria that most employers are looking for.

Resume Companion is another site that can be used to look at sample resumes or access other resume writing information. They have the unique feature of having 50,000 sample resume phrases for people to use when writing their own resumes. For those who want to look at sample resumes, these are organized by different categories: students, careers, or function. This site also has cover letter samples, for those who need to include one with their resume.

For those who need to know the proper formatting of a Curriculum Vitae, as well as a resume, they may want to peruse the Resume World site. The resumes on this site are categorized into entry level/ new graduate, management/ middle career, and senior management/ executive. They show resumes in different formats, such as chronological and functional, so that people can compare the styles and choose which one is best for them.

Resumes are easy to peruse, as they are available in Adobe and Word format. For those who need further advice than just resume samples, resume templates for various professions are also provided.
