Re: Resumes

Lisa,

I was going to send this just to you, but I thought that others out there   
might be able to benefit, too. The best resource I found while looking   
for a new job in tech writing myself was "Rebecca Smith's eResumes and   
Resources" at http://www.eresumes.com. This site has wonderful tutorials   
including:

ASCII Résumés
HTMLRésumés
Web Résumés
Keyword Résumés
Scannable Résumés
Posting Résumés Online
Sending Cover Letters Electronically

One evening I just went ahead and downloaded all the tutorials and   
printed them out and then went through them. It was a most valuable   
exercise. You can check out my finished on-line product at   
http://members.aol.com/janewman. It's simple, but I tend toward the   
minimal and subtle (at least most of the time).

There are also some good tips at   
http://www.jobweb.org/catapult/guenov/restips.html,   
http://www.liglobal.com/b_c/career,  http://www.taos.com/resumetips.html   
and http://www.provenresumes.com. You'll probably find some of the   
specific advise contradictory between some of the sites, but they give   
you a lot to work with (please excuse ending the sentence with a   
preposition, just be comforted that I knew what I was doing ;-)).
Good Luck!

I'm new to this list, so, I apologize for bringing up a subject you have
probably covered in detail earlier. . . .

I am applying for a new job, and want to put together an on-line resume
as well as the paper version. Can anyone point me to some good examples
of on-line resumes?
