When youu2019re writing your first resume, Iu2019d suggest that you do a few key things.If you havenu2019t been keeping a running list of your work experience, community involvement, and accomplishments, start keeping one. Use Word or Google Docs or something similar. Save it in more than one place. You should record everything. You wonu2019t use everything on each resume you create/send when applying for jobs, but you want all details stored in one place. It will save you so much time when you fill out lengthy job applications or try to recall information about a position you held 10 years ago.Learn how to write a great resume.

It might save you time now, but in the long run, you will be back in the same u201cI donu2019t know what to dou201d boat.

Itu2019s okay to work TOGETHER to create your resume. If the professional you hire asks you very few questions and doesnu2019t really collaborate with you while working on your resume, you can guarentee that the finished product will probably not be a great reflection of the real you. And this is a problem. When you start interviewing, your resume will portray Joe a certain way, and you may or may not match that portrayal. Employers want you to be transparent during the hiring process.Avoid templates. Hereu2019s why: Resume templates: Just say no (and why) - Career Coach Bethany WallaceHope this helps you get started.
