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.
