Writing a first resume is made easy by using some very simple and easily accessible tools. These are commonly referred to as
cloud based apps because they work on the internet, much like your typical web based e-mail (yahoo mail, G-mail, hotmail,etc.)
Not everyone has a google account (these are free) or windows live, but if you do, you have easy access to the ‘easy to use’
word apps in their online office suites. Windows skydrive is new and allows you to tinker w/ the new microsoft office toys.
Google Docs has ready made templates to help write resume in proper format. If you are neither an MSN fan nor a Googler, fret
not, there are plenty more available.
Zoho.com has a beauty of a word processor in zoho writer with templates. Just two clicks and you are creating your own
“professional resume“.This was my personal favorite simply for ease of use. Just hit the site and start typing. No login,no
password.
Peepel.com has an easy access writer but has compatibility issues with some browsers( chrome,etc). The same is true with one of
the more upscale online writers from iNETWORD.com, but here you’ll need to create an account. Others that have free offerings
include Glide, Docly, Thinkfree and probably the cadillac, Adobes’ Buzzword. These all require setting up an account first
however.
So when you ask how to write resume, you will at least have an idea of where to write it. Look over these templates and you’ll
get a good jumpstart on the resume writing guide and advice columns.
Unless you are already a windows LIVE user or have a google account, I’d suggest taking a run at ZOHO.com, especially for you
first time resume writers.
Good luck all.
