This article is super helpful to anyone and everyone! It has some really great tips on how to improve your resume from a professional resume writer, and why it is bad, and how to fix it. While it is slightly more focused on people who have been unemployed, it still has examples of good ways to write specific sections. I hadn't even thought about what you put down if you have been unemployed for a period of time! I'm sort of surprised that he did not discuss the format of an entire resume and making it easier to read, because that is a nanosecond judgement made by the employer. Although writing a resume is different in every job, there are some generic outlines that will make a resume better in just a couple quick fixes.
