    Default Proper Resume Format???

    So, i'm looking to move to n. ga... i know times are hard and slow.. but i'm looking for some employment..

    BUT i don't have a resume.... never had to have one.. all jobs i've had were sorta 'given' to me through friends..

    so except for in highschool,when i didn't have a job, i've never written one up.

    and i don't have word so i can't use their layouts...

    Current job is tech support for a dental software company/minor sales...

    looking for a job in the some what same fields as tech support/customer service (stated in the other thread looking at maybe some wireless companies)

    can anyone help me out on what the proper format is??

    PM me your email address.

    There is not really a set format for a resume. Things such as education, years of work experince, field of interest, etc. all play a part.

    If you have had many jobs or gaps in employment, you can do a functional resume that displays your skills/duties. If you have had position changes and want to show progression, a chronological resume would suit you better. Targeted resumes are directed at the job position you are applying to; highlighting your skill in relation to what they want in a potential employee.

    Blah blah blah.....I am tired of typing.

    Very good! Simple and to the point.

    I hope that I don't have to update mines for a LONG time. I am staying where I am for the next 5+ years.

    add it. IMO it can only help, can show that you have leadership skills.

    VP of fine arts club i'd put that..

    but voted most talented i'd skip that..

    in the skills section put all the microsoft things on a separate line not like how mine is all together, so it looks fuller.
