Are you looking for a job? If so, have you put your resume together? It would be helpful to set up a quality resume without paying an arm and a leg. You will learn how to have your resume built for free.
Instead of buying a resume creation book, go to the library to check one out. If none of these books is available for checkout, scan select key pages that illustrate how to create a resume onto one of the copiers and print them out. You will probably only have to pay ten cents per copy.
Try to avoid paying a fee to create your resume and get job-hunting guidance. Instead, you should look for firms that help job applicants for free. Some states such as Missouri provide a free career services office that helps people look for a job and put together a resume.
Turn to staffing agencies. If you have not done so, register with as many as you can. If they have you fill out a resume section on their computers, ask for a printout of your resume after you finish.
Is it correct that you do not have your own computer? If so, you can use the computers at your local library to build your resume. To gain this privilege, you will probably only have to sign up for a free library card and then put your name on a waiting list. The main drawback to this is time limits. For example, many libraries will only let you use their computers for up to an hour at a time.
Do you need more than an hour or two to create your resume? If so, perhaps using library computers is not the route you should take. Ask a friend or relative to let you use his or her computer. If you know someone who attends a local college, ask him or her to bring you into the computer labs as a guest.
If you use a computer that does not belong to you, it is important to save the work you do creating your resume onto a compact disc or flash drive or import your file into your E-mail account. Some libraries sell flash drive units for ten dollars.
Avoid paying a service to review and critique your resume. Instead, you can ask someone you know and is experienced at resume creation to help you.
Use free online resume creation services. A good web site for this is Monster.
Why go to a print shop to pay a lot to print out your resume or buy resume paper and envelopes? You can print out your resume off a library computer. If you need to constantly mail resumes, you can buy a package of resume paper and envelopes for just a few bucks somewhere such as Walgreens.
