This task is a tuff one for me as I am a union electrician and rely on my local union to put me to work if I am unemployed so a resume for me is not neccasary . If I get layed off I return to the out of work list and sighn up , then depending on how many electricians are on there will decide how soon I go back to work . Fortunately I have had not to do this in my career due to my reputation in the trade I have been able to stay gainfully employed (knock on wood) .

Why use your GMail inbox when you can use Google Docs?

i believe one of the BEST ways to present the resume, or any professional document is via PDF format.

it can be done via Google Documents. you can use their incredibly useful (and free) office suite to create (and import) resume documents, and later on export them to PDF.

This is excellent advice. If one can eliminate deadwood and keep the resumé a living and updated document, there will be no rush when the perfect job presents itself.

I work in the IT field and regularly interview candidates for positions within my department. One thing I noticed while giving interviews is not everyone should list their certifications. If you haven’t used the material covered in a certification in a while, DO NOT list it. A good interviewer will call you out on it. Also, if you have a certification which builds upon another like the Cisco Networking certifications, just list the last one you received. It is implied you had to go through the first level of certification to get the one you have now. And the last thing not to do with certifications, do not list ones you are working on! There were many interviews I have conducted where the person I was interviewing couldn’t answer one question regarding material covered in one (and sometimes any) of their “Certifications” with confidence. If you list a certification, make sure you know ALL the material the certification covers.

Just finished a newer resume with a cover letter last week :D

Also, don’t neglect your cover letter. I really believe that your cover letter is just as important as your resume, if not more.

Here’s a small post that sums it up nicely:
