Basically I'm looking more for examples than advice - I'm hoping to apply for a few teaching jobs in the coming weeks/months, and need to finish my résumé sometime in the next two to three weeks in order to apply for a couple different graduate opportunities by their deadlines (one of which is getting paid to study in India for 8 weeks - something I'd very much like to spend my fall doing).

Effectively I'm just looking for any good resources you all have for creating a professional résumé, or if any of you would be willing to let me have a look at your own résumé as an example I would really appreciate it as well.

Cheers.

If you wait till tomorrow you can take a look at mine. Some pro consultants are going to be reviewing it for me tomorrow, so it'll be polished up.

Cool. Anyone willing to share their résumé with me should either PM me or toss it off to me at [email protected] (so as to avoid people posting them in public)

And thanks loads to those of you willing to entertain the notion - I'm absolutely terrified because this is the first time I've ever even had to consider the notion of creating a résumé.

And Sam - that was just the way it was spelled on Wiki

and how have you not created a resume before? I've never been denied a job because I've always turned one in. Get that shit done, and get your impression won!

Resumes should look different depending on the job you're looking for Sam my boy. A teacher's resume would look vastly different than that of someone looking for a tech position.

you should write lots of resumes and custom-build them according to the position.

for something like teaching, a government job (?) i wouldve thought there'd be stuff like selection criteria rather than it all depending on the resume. good luck.

With that said Bas, you are indeed correct.

I should have added, and some jobs (working at a deli) don't require a resume at all
