Resume Ideas

April 4, 2011 6:56 AM

Where can I find great examples of resumes / cv's? I will be pursuing a new job in the next 6 months and would like to polish up my resume now. I think my resume is pretty good, but I would like to look at some different approaches to brainstorm how I may tighten it up. I am a I.T. project manager if that helps. My Google-Fu is turning up sites with resumes templates that are, ummmm, a lot worse than my existing resume. Any general tips would be much appreciated as well, but I am more interested in format, structure, and wording. Help me find example resumes that jump off a recruiter's desk!

I love the templates at emurse. It's also really easy to use.

If you search Flickr for "resume" you'll find lots of examples for inspiration, plus plenty examples of what not to do.

This book had a lot of excellent examples. It helped me and my husband and we are in completely opposite fields.

The 5 O'Clock Club has a great book on resume writing.
