PLEASE HELP ME! Resume problems!?


I'm applying for my first job! I don't want SITES for job interviews or anything, I want an example or a resume for a job like at Target or something like that. Don't reccomend any sites, they do not tell me what I need to know. Please, an example of a first resume is good enough for me.

Name
Address
Phone #
email

Objective - To get an entry-level position in retail that will give me experience and new skills

School
School name and city and state

Skills (Typing, Computer Skills, Communication Skills, Math, etc.)

Accomplishments (Awards, Clubs and your role - honors or new titles received, etc)

Put the skills and accomplishments in bullet format
Bold the headings - objective, school, skills, accomplishments

That should be good

before we get into this, i must warn you that i wasn't doing very well myself... so, you might take this only as reference.

a resume is usually devided into few parts, normally comes with 2 pages to 3 in maximum.

first of all: the first page will be your cover letter. which should include the company name, interviewer's name and title, phone and address, and the date you sent them your resume. then, in the body part you will have to give your future employer at least one good reason why they should hire you, and, how and why your join to the company can be beneficial (to the entire comapny or that specific department?) keep it simple and clear (i have hard time doing that myself, due to my pathetic poor language skill, unfortunately. =_=.) then, you make your signature at the bottom left or right of the cover letter, make it decent and formal, just to gain the first good impression. :)

then, on the cover letter, same thing with the information part(target company and interviewer and yours, plus the date.) you start with the list of your educational background, capability (skills and softwares you are good at) and some releavant work experiences if there is any. (since it's the first time you apply for a job, i assume that you are a new graduate, therefore, the work experiences can include summer position and part time jobs, as long as they are related to the job position you are applying for, it helps. :)

it really depends on the field you are going after, you might want to do some design layout, or just keep it simple and clean. However, you should avoid using any strange, hard to read text, people often don't spend more than 3 to 5 second to decide whether or not if they want to finish reading the rest.

Good luck.

I used this resume writing service in my area, this is the email address, (resume.help50@yahoo.com) you should try them, it only cost me $35.00 and I got a great job from this new resume, I never thought about the format that they use but the turn around time was less then 24 hrs. I would have to say it was the best service I have ever used and it was worth every dime. Also they let me pay through paypal.

Your first responder had a good outline.
Change Skills to Skills and Talents

and add any talents you have that translate into being a good potential employee.... such as...
- fast learner
- bilingual
etc.
