Hi! The book "Resumes for Dummies" is quite helpful. Also, most major office/& computer stores (e.g. Staples, Office Depot, etc.) have computer software specifically to help create a resume (e.g. WinWay Resume Deluxe.) You can choose the style, format, fonts, etc. that you prefer and they have sample resumes for different job categories. Then you just fill in the different areas (i.e. Experience, Education, etc.) with your own personal background....The software also has area for cover letters...
