Never written a resume before: HELP

Published

I will be graduating this June and I've never written a resume before. Can you please help me with tips and sites that I can visit? Thanks! Also, what's the most appealing Objective that I can write? I think that it's the first thing nurse recruiters read and I want to make a good impression.

I know you need to keep it close to one page. Google "new nurse resume writing" or something like that. The info's got to be out there! Best wishes.

I used Monster.com and Hotjobs - they have a section on resumes where you put in all of your info and they spit out a pretty resume.

Glad it helped!

PS especially liked one posters idea to carry prestamped thank you card to drop in mailbox upon exiting facility after interview.... hired one RN who sent personal note. Stood out over other candidates.
