Using Resume Software for Jobs

    With your recent marital status change, perhaps you’ve discovered the need for a new, higher-paying job or you need to re-enter the job market. One of the tools you’ll need to land that new job is a professional, well-written, error-free resume that summarizes your career objective, employment history, educational background, work-related skills and accomplishments.            

The information you include within your resume is important, but how you communicate that information, plus how it looks are equally important when it comes to capturing the attention of a potential employer in less than 15 seconds. A typical job seeker could spend hours fine-tuning their résumé’s content, and then need to invest additional time formatting their resume using a word processor. Additional time is then required to customize the resume for each individual job.  

SPECIALIZED RESUME CREATION SOFTWARE  

One way to save time completing the resume writing and creation process is to utilize specialized resume creation software, such as WinWay’s Resume Deluxe 12 ($39.99, WinWay Software, www.winway.com) or Resume Maker Professional Ultimate ($39.99, Individual Software, www.resumemaker.com/ResumeMaker/home.jsp). These and other software packages like them are available wherever software is sold. Specific software can be purchased and downloaded online from the software publisher’s own website. While other specialized resume creation software packages are available, WinWay Resume Deluxe 12 and Resume Maker Professional Ultimate both offer the best combination of easy-to-use, time-saving features that will help anyone, pursuing any job or occupation, create the attention-getting resume they want and need.

There are less expensive options for creating a resume using your computer. For example, you can download a free resume template for use with Microsoft Word from the Microsoft website (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/results.aspx?qu=resume) that will making formatting a resume easier, but this template doesn’t offer the functionality of a full-featured resume creation tool.
