Sample Résumés DC

1. Find a good sample résumé. The first step to learning from a sample résumé is to locate one. There are many wonderful books that you can purchase that include sample résumés. Two books that I recommend are 101 Best Résumés, by Jay A. Block and Michael Betrus, and Encyclopedia of Job-winning Résumés, by Myra Fournier and Jeffrey Spin.
   
   You also have the option of performing a simple search online, where you can find hundreds of them for free. Two websites that I recommend are Best Sample Resume and JobStar. It is very important that the sample résumé you pick be an excellent example.
   
   
2. Follow the résumé format. Résumés are written in different formats so it is best if your sample résumé is written in the same format that you want to write yours in. If there are a bunch of sections on the résumé that don't apply to you, then keep looking for a better sample résumé.
   
   
3. Give you résumé style. Résumés should look professional and not be over-styled. Your sample résumé should have an easy-to-read font and be consistent on such things as bullets, heading styles, etc. As long as the sample résumé is professional, then use the same style in your own résumé. If you can't match it exactly, just make sure that you are consistent on your résumé.
