Redo Resume

http://www.emurse.com/

It's totally free. Really Easy. You just fill in your name, adress, work history, education, etc. Then the resume is magically created for you. You can choose between several formats. You can downlaod it, save it, publish it, email it, whatever right from the sight.
As a person that hires, interviews, and looks at resumes alot I can tell you, keep it to 1 page. I skim through a resume for the highpoints. Obvious padding is easy to spot. Typos jump off the page.
Don't do things to make it stand out like colored paper, pictures or big graphics, unless it's for an industry where that is appropriate. Watch your spelling and grammar. Do more than just apply online. Also fax and mail resumes. Follow up on the resumes you send. Try to send a cover letter that tells the company what you have to offer and that you've done your research. as for objective, tailor it to the industry or job you are applying for. If it's for a big well known company, say something about looking for a challenging position within a proven Fortune 500 Company that will allow me to use my knowledge, trainging education, blah blah. If it's a little independant say objective is a position where my education, training and experience will allow me to grow and succeed as the company grows into a recognizable brand. Brag on yourself a little in the objective and cover letter.

I recommend hooking up with a staffing agency. I hooked up with 3, and found a job in a month after being laid off last year.

there are a lot of resume helper websites... My fiance googled it, and he just filled in a questionnaire with his job histories, other work experience, and personal info... It also had suggestions for what to use and what not to use as far as job objectives go... I wish I could remember the website, but I think something like that would be easiest on you. Just google "resume builders"...

You didn't say what you did or what level you are. I think Tracy K hit a lot of the hightpoints though. I would recommend one more thing if you are looking for any kind of manager or higher level job, emphasize accomplishments. Think about things you did that help improve your job or the company - instead of "manage budget" or "cut budget 5%", think "implemented improvements to reduce budget 5% while maintaining productivity". This works at all levels - I recently worked with a high school student to change his resume to a more action/results oriented one, so it doesn't matter how much experience you have.

The "buzz word" to think about is SOAR - Situation (what was it)
Opportunity (what was the opportunity you had), Action (what action did you take/implement), Result (what was the result). Having a couple SOAR stories in your pocket during interviews will set you apart.
