Resume Resources from Libraries

There were recently some discussions on a couple of listservs about resume tools and websites.  Two of the library resume websites that were recommended (from the dozens people bandied about as their personal favorites) stood out to me in particular, so I thought I'd share them with y'all.  What's a blog pulpit for, after all? :)

  • San Diego Public Library's Tutorials: SDPL has created a series of tutorials for users wanting to create resumes in Microsoft Word.  They cover what to include in a resume, resume wizards and templates, printing and saving, recommended books and online resume builders.  Well done!
  • Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library Job Resume Templates: MCNPL has created a number of plug and play resume templates where the user identifies how many past jobs, educational degrees, and certifications he/she has, as well as whether or not an objective statement is required, and then a click on a link takes them to a very specific template where they type in information in response to a series of questions, and whizz, bang, zoom--there's the finished resume ready to save or print!  Very, very impressive!

Thanks for the note and kind comments on our SDPL tutorial on resumes in Microsoft Word. It's a little old now, but still valid and I hope helpful.
Best wishes,
