Creating the Resume

---

If you did your homework and put together all the information you need for your resume, the only difficulties you should have with this next step should be with your fingers�from typing so much. Many of the resume services have their own generic resume forms. All you have to do is plug in the information.

If you want to use one of the best resources for actually putting together your resume, try the before-mentioned Intellimatch's PowerResume (http://www/intellimatch.com/). Not only can you actually plug in your own information, this powerful resume service also enables you to choose skills from career areas (for example, you can choose word processing under Computer-related). If you weren't sure which keywords to use when you began, don't worry anymore because by using this service you are, in effect, choosing the major keywords your resume will have. Intellimatch is a little different than many of the other resume services and posting sites in that it enables job seekers and employers use a structured rather than Keyword search. As mentioned before, the structured approach allows for more versatility and possibly a better match between a job seeker and an employer. Intellimatch doesn't include the only resume service on the Web, but it is one of the best. Find some other ones to help you compare and decide for yourself.

Other sites offer resume services as well, including the Online Career Center, Jobsource, and CareerMagazine. Other sites that can help you with your resume are E-Span and the Monster Board's Resume City (http://www.monster.com) and career-related articles.
