Resume Tips and Advice

http://www.resume-help.org/resume_writing_tips.htm

I found this website to be the most straight forward and informative about writing resumes. It gave me a step by step process for writing a resume from beginning to end, without giving me some unnecessary information like other resume advice websites I browsed through. Before writing your resume you should think about what type of job title you're looking for and should be specific on what kind you want.

Some points that the website made that were helpful to me were, when writing the body of your resume, it should be clear and short and have the use of strong words because the employer looking at your resume will not read it for then 30 seconds; it is most important to get the his/her attention. It is always best to have your strengths and potential stand out and have your strongest of skills be put first, rather than at the bottom because this emplyoer might not read that far down. Overall you resume is to be short, strong and clear. Without these you will have a better chance of this employer to through your resume in the garbage rather than calling for an interview.
