NO! Dude, you misspelled several words, you didn't know the difference between than and then and your examples of good resumes were crap. Sure you might have had one or two good points but thats it! I have a hard time trusting or taking serious someone who tells me to "spell check the crap" out of my resume when he couldn't proofread his own site. Nice Work? NO!

EVER. It makes me cringe whenever someone sends me an order using it. It is the primary soccer mom font choice. Ew, Comic Sans is one of the worst fonts… EVER.

Sure there are a lot of horrible resumes made in word, but how many pieces of garbage haven been made from an adobe product? Doesn't make us use it any less. Keep your options open, you'll be surprised what you can make in word when you invest some time into it. Theres nothing wrong with using Word if you now how to use it to its full potential.

Thanks. And the PDF'ed examples are all really good examples. I am curious what the community here thinks about how content is laid out in the experience category. The examples had two very distinctive ways of outlining the responsibilities and capabilities for each position or job. I am offering up another idea. I've chosen to list my experience per job as such: • Name of company, title, date of employment, geographic location. • Then, I state my primary responsibilities • Follow up with three to four bullets of what I've accomplished in this position. I think it's short enough to be concise and long-enough to be interesting without boasting. Just a recommendation. Thoughts or opinions welcome.
