never use a word template, they make your resume blend in, do something your own and it will stand out that much more ---

Put a cover letter on your reseme also. Its pretty much a must have for any real job. I heard from people who just throw out the reseme if it does not have one. Anyways it puts you ahead of people who don’t have one, it shows your communication skills and emphasizes what your skills actually are. ---
