You can use about any resume' builder as long as you know the rules. 1. The HR person knows little or nothing about the job you are trying to get and is just looking to work experience and educational background that pushes the right buttons. 2. That HR person is going to give your Cover Letter and Resume' all of about 3 minutes of attention before they put it aside.
What does that mean? It means that you need a cover letter that outlines your work qualification and pertinent educational requirements on one page, then a short Resume that details those subjects. I have yet to work for a company that cared if you volunteered at the local animal shelter, go sky diving or any of the other personal things we used to include.
If you have Office on your computer, they have a number of templates. Not a huge Microsoft fan, so I normally use the free and open source Apache OpenOffice.

CPT (Join to see) Trust me on this one. I have never met an HR person that had any clue about what I did for a living and little about how the company made money. Most of the over qualified education requirements that you don't need to do the job all develop in HR.

yep, I see that happen when putting in requests for job postings. HR just pulls req's from the internet, and the internet over hypes everything.

I saw that yesterday when the employment office did my resume and F'ed it up to make is a clusterF of lies! If I get called for the interview, I am going to carry the CORRECT resume with me that was handled by a military person who knows the MOS and what tasks translate to in civilian terms. I am angry beyond belief.

PFC Pamala (Hall ) Foster - That's why I started doing my own. Office has a good selections of templates (as does Open Office) that are plug and chug, just put your information in the sequence they list in the format you prefer. I've always used just the simple layouts. As I said before, that HR person is going to give your cover page about 3 minutes of attention.
Now if we could just get companies to post a realistic resume for the Company rather than the job descriptions that HR hands that will have nothing to do with what they want you to actually do.

PAMALA.. What Manner Of Employment Are You Searching For & Is It IN Or OUT Of The Military/Goverment Sectors?
I Ask Because, If You Need An Exceptional Resume, Perhaps I Can Facilitate With It's Creation.
I'll Bet I'm The Best Resume Writer To Ever Hit All 50 Of These Here United States Of America.
When I Write A Resume, It'll Put a Disney's Fiction Writers To Shame.
I'm Talk'en "Sending Them Home In Tears"...."Going Back To Burger-Flipping Shame"
With A High School GED & Several Great Business Programs Through U.S.A.F.I.,
I Was Hired As An Industrial Purchasing Agent For FMC In Michigan; 2 Years Later, Directly To Purchasing Dept Manager At The Indiana Plant. What's The Big Deal?.. The Purchasing Agent's Minimum Education Requirement Was A 4 Year College Degree... SO, Not ONLY Did I Tell Them
"I'm A College Grad, With My Masters In Business Administration, But With Just a 3.65 GPA."..
(Didn't Want To Over Do It!),,
Amazing What Can Be Done With Being Almost 100% Self-Educated And Knowing You Can & Will Excel In Your Occupation, ....
Great Fun To Be The "Head Cheese" At The Cheese Cake Factory..!
OKAY, Who Needs A Great Career Occupation, And What Are The Requirements?
Don't Worry About The Career Requirements, We'll Make'm Up As We Go.!!

A1C Medrick "Rick" DeVaney - THANKS and glad you are one I can refer to as "Brother" and I took it wrong, but for me to make it through the program...it took a lot of work: long nights and some all nighters, a 2 liter a day Dr Pepper habit, tons of tuna fish sandwiches, late night study sessions, my mom passed away during school and never got to see me graduate;even celebrated my 55th birthday a month after graduation as the FIRST female in my family to get a degree.

PFC Pamala (Hall ) Foster -
To Be Quite Frank, I Can't Think Of A More Difficult Career Then That Of Practicing Law.
Needless To Say I Had A Few Attorney's As Friends, And Making A Buck Was Not All That Easy. Many Even Shared Offices & Staff To Cut Down On Their Overhead... A Couple Of Them Became County/City Judges Because They Made A Better Income And Avoided A Lot Of The Pressures Of Running Their Offices And Practicing Law At The Same Time.
WHEW Just A Lot More Difficult And Time Consuming Than It May Seem.
~Definitely "Not Up My Alley".~ Again, My Best Of Wishes...

I'd Be SURE You Mom Would Be Proud.
A Lot Of Time, Money, Work And Study Goes Into Getting Your Degree..
How Could She NOT Be Proud? ~ The Closest I Ever Got To College Was When I Was Making A Delivery To MSU And Drove Through Their Campus On My Way To Their Warehouse, ~ LOL.
Out Here In Vegas, As It Probably Is Elsewhere, We're Flooded With Accident Lawyers; I'm Assuming It's One Of The Best Ways To Make A Buck With The Least Amount Of Effort; As The Legal Secretary's Do Most Of The Work, While The Letters/Contracts Are Relatively Standard And Already In The Computer Files..
