I recently made a resume packet for the students in my orientation to psychology class (for an assignment they have to write their resumes) so I have a few webs sites that I found and thought could be useful.
http://www.quintcareers.com/functional_resume.html
Most students only consider chronological resumes, there are also functional. This site describes what one is and who might want to consider using it.
The whole
www.quintcareers.com website is loaded with info. I also directed them to:
http://www.quintcareers.com/action_verbs.html
for a list of action verbs
http://search.officeupdate.microsoft...lery/ct116.asp
has templates for resumes
http://www.collegegrad.com/resumes/index.shtml
templates and guidelines for resumes
http://www.jobweb.com
samples of functional, electronic, and chronological resumes.
I have a checklist at work of things to check for in resumes. I made it to give to the students when they are doing peer reviews but I'll post it here if I think about it. Someone may have mentioned this but (at my univ anyway) career services is not just for current students, alumni can use it as well! I got career magazines from them that I found useful.
