I need to redo my resume for an internship fair that is this Tuesday. I went to a workshop today for said fair and a lot of the recruiters mentioned that a reverse chronological resume is something they prefer.

Does anyone here know of a good template for word 2007? I found a few online but I don't know about them. As well as I can never set up the margins or indents properly

Microsoft has plenty: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT010144894.aspx

Some are a bit busy. Look at the ones without graphics. There are few on that site from Monster, they're okay if very general.

I thought it had a resume wizard built in. I know I used it once. *edit* turns out it did have it built in, in 2003. But Msoft "improved" it by removing the wizards. Glad I paid for that... Now they are templates that you have to get elsewhere. Go Microsoft!!

I don't know what sort of a job you are doing but have you ever considered getting professional help? Sure it cost a few bucks but IMO, it is worth the cost in terms of getting a job.

keep your format simple and concentrate on good content. I see a lot of resume's cross my desk and when I see flashy formats they are almost always short on good content pertaining to the sought after position

If I had known the place existed at school, I could have gone to the career center and had them help me with the resume. But this is for Tuesday and the Resume Center works with you over a period of a few days to get it perfect.

I will for certain be going there after this fair to get my resume setup and talk to experential learning for internships

This isn't even a flashy format. It's just reverse chronological.

Don't forget to mention that The Most Interesting Man in the World patted you on the back.

I meant lots of different fonts and bolds, styled backgrounds, shaded text boxes, colored windows etc.

got ya


I'm almost done with it. I just need to stick a 1-2 sentence summary of myself to the top and it will be done

You want clear...and easy to read at a glance....otherwise it goes in the trash first round of cuts. They are also all scanned with an OCR into a computer system, so its important to use the correct terminology and not have fancy fonts that might get scanned wrong. Keep it on white paper too.

I have a pack of resume paper and stick to size 12, Times New Roman.. Not that tahoma crap word has switched to as a default with office 07

Include pic of your hot girlfriend and you might get more attention

Don't get me started

Be prepared to explain any "holes" in your work history, if there are any.

A break in employment of more than a couple of months is a red flag to some recruiters...
