What's a good example of a strong resume?

Tip for best answer: M$2.02
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Currently unemployed myself, I'm also in the process of revamping my resume. Everything I read says that the sole purpose of a resume is to get you an interview. That's it. You have one page to sell yourself as the most promising future asset of that company. And with the disheartening statistic that only one interview is granted for every 250 resumes received, you've got to have a killer resume just to be invited in the door.

This website from monster.com is nice because it has lots of different examples, all organized by the different industries that they target.
http://career-advice.monster.com/resumes-cover-letters/resume-samples/sample-resumes-by-industry/article.aspx

This one shows the difference between the two types of resume (chronological & functional) and also shows how to solve some common problems (career change, gaps in work history, new graduate, etc.)
http://jobstar.org/tools/resume/samples.php

And here's one that has over 300 examples, organized by job category.
http://workbloom.com/resume/resume-samples.aspx

I really recommend heading over to your library, too. A few of the better books I have right now:

- Resume Magic: Trade Secrets of a Professional Resume Writer (by Susan Britton Whitcomb)

- The Resume Handbook: How to Write Outstanding Resumes & Cover Letters for Every Situation (by Arthur D. Rosenberg)

- The Resume.com Guide to Writing Unbeatable Resumes (by Rose Curtis and Warren Simons)

- Guerrilla Marketing for Job Hunters: 1,001 Unconventional Tips, Tricks, and Tactics for Landing Your Dream Job (by Jay Conrad Levinson and David E. Perry)

Good Luck!

There are so many examples however which is the right one and which isn't depends on the job profile. In order to be unique and strong you have to mention the summary or the objective, your specialties, skills and other projects you have completed and so on.

Write down all the verb (action words) that you have done, for example: bartended 200 seat bar alone, argued cases in front of state supreme court (get the idea?) These words actually say what you did, shows you have experience. Play up your strong points. Good luck!

you must have these basic things.
Bold and enlarge your name at the top.
Keep the sections lined up and consistent.Use an Arial or Times New Roman font (or similar).Font size shouldn't be smaller than 11pt or larger than 12pt, except for your Name and Headings.Do not include pronouns such as "I," company street addresses, salary, or reasons for leaving.Two-page resume: be sure to fill the second page at least halfway down the page.Place “Continued” at the bottom of page one, and your name and “Page 2” at the top of page two.Use graphics sparingly unless you are in a creative field. It is safe to use a border and shading.Leave out personal data, photos, and unrelated hobbies, unless you are an actor/actress or model.If you spell out the state in your address, such as New York, spell out the states for your jobs.Proof, proof, and proof again!
