Concur,
Most business are impressed by what is on the resume' NOT the resume' itself.
Word's Resume Template is fine, just fill in your info. Google a few examples to get an idea of phrasing.
Keep in mind many business are double checking resume's, do NOT exaggerate, unfortunately to many people have lied on their resume's and its becoming standard practice to confirm all the details on the resume.
Go to staples and get good paper and folders. I'm talking paper that actually has clothe fiber in it. The $10 for super quality paper and cover folder for a dozen resume's is worth it.

"Paper"? What is this "paper" you speak of, Sir? I know the company I work, for, along with the last one, both didnt care for paper resumes, but preferred electronic ones submitted through the companies web site.
Still has to be a good document, well written, pared to the essentials, and look good printed out, but to bring in a paper resume will only result in a request for the same in electronic form, so it can be archived, and shared with the folks in the company who will look over it to see if that candidate is suitable. Thats just two companies, tech ones, and maybe some fields are different though.
Concur with the DIY advice. Ask folks you know to look it over, give you advice, I do that for friends now and again. A few tips, for a tech field anyway..
Short is key, the number of pages does not impress anyone.
Dont expand on non-applicable jobs. If you are applying to be a copier repairguy, dont dwell on the 2 years as a fry cook, just give the place and job description.
If its technical, use both system names and nomenclatures. Database searches are quite common, and you cannot know the search string entered. My last job was pulled from experience in only one system, and the company searched just that system, by nomenclature.
Proofread three times, and then have three people go over it.
If you're contact email is barhopper@gmail.com, consider generating a new one for the job search

A good point, in fact I have put a disc with the resume' in word and rich text file inside the cover folder. At the same time, depending on the industry, you may be asked for a resume at the interview or at a job fair, if someone wants to look at your resume right there with you, your going to say, "Let me find a printer, I'll get back to you in a couple of hours".
The bottom line, you want to be prepared, so when you meet a potential employer you can impress them with being as prepared as possible. Think ahead and anticipate, if your going to a job fair, have a dozen or more copies of your resume' on paper and disc, able to hand it out to whomever you speak. A single interview, check for a company website and look to see if they have a way to submitt the resume' electronically.

I was going to say the same thing: how are you going to do a job if you can't even write a resume? It's not easy but there are plenty of examples and tips for resumes and cover letters online (key phrases, what to include, what to avoid, etc.). You may have to go through several drafts first. I've been revising mine for 23 years!

The resume is the easy part.. Its the intro letter that can be more difficult since that is where you will promote yourself and tailor it to the position.

Thats how them b*tch's R
For me the interview is the hardest. I always hated those "what's your worst quality?" questions. Really?
Re: Need a resume!
Surely it's not that difficult to write a resume?
If you can't write a resume, then how do you expect to
be able to perform a job task of updating or writing
memorandums, company policies, rebuttal e-mails,
any/or type of correspondence in the business place?
Just wondering????

I doubt 99% of resumes get read, IMHO they are feed into some application looking for keywords ..... then when they get a good hit, some in HR Reads it
