Okay, if any of y'all can help me, I'd REALLY appreciate it. I'm trying to write a short resume, and if anyone can give me an idea for formatting and what all to include on there, PLEASE leave a comment or IM me at JLBGotBack. So, um, yes, any help at all's appreciated.

Also, memo to self: NEVER delete your cookies again, because now you have to go back and recall ALL YOUR PASSWORDS.

I thought the most helpful thing I could do would be to actually show you a resume with some of the formatting methods and such I've learned, so I just e-mailed my most current one to the Yahoo! address on your user info page. So, as far as what to include, I remember learning that the following things should go on there: education (if you're in college or still in school, put this at the very top before work experience), work/internship experience, school activities/volunteering, and awards and honors. That's just a rough idea. At the end, I remember being told it's a good idea to just go ahead and attach your references.

For a shorter resume, you might not need to do the margins like I did (you could expand them), and my font size would probably look too small on a shorter resume. Also, it's a good idea to take out superfluous words when you can, especially "the" and the like in job descriptions.

Like I said, I hope this helps, and if you want anyone to take a look at your finished product, I'd be more than happy to. (I'm a proofreading nerd.)

I need to make some sort of resume for myself, but I have NO clue as to how I should go about it. =\
