Need to update the resume...

[TheSiege]

I have read that a 1-page resume is best, so I think I am going to go that route, I am just wondering if anyone has a good template or knows of one I can use. Or any other suggestions.

What's your profession? How many pages are you now?

 

[TheSiege]

I am an licensed electrician, I have a BS in Tech management, six sigma green belt. I have it down to about 1 page

Be sure to check spelling and don't just rely on spell check.

(See thread title. 😉 )

1 to 2 pages is fine.

I will, and thats why there is a disclaimer in my sig

I am wondering if there is a program or a website, where you enter in all your information for a resume, and then you click on different themes or templates or layouts and it will produce a .doc file in that formatting

I think 2 pages are okay if you have different experiences that are relevant to what you're seeking

I have no issues with 2 page resumes. i'd rather have too much info than too little.

Where did you read that? Unless you just graduated college that's completely false.

Template? Check out the Word templates, just don't use an objective statement. Please put experience before education and don't say "References available upon request."

 

[TheSiege]

So what do you do for references if not upon request?

It's assumed that, if asked, you will provided references. Don't waste space on a resume with that.

The designs on Loft Resumes might be a little too "designy" for your profession, but they do what you're asking I believe.
