What You Need to Know About Using a Microsoft Resume

A Microsoft resume can be a great tool to get you started, but it's not the be-all and end-all.

Templates can be very helpful as you start to write your resume. And Microsoft Office publishes a number of resume templates on their website. Here is a sample of a Microsoft template...

But before you download one of the Microsoft resume templates found at the Office website, keep in mind that hundreds—if not thousands—of other people have downloaded these templates too. So your resume could end up looking just like many others that cross the recruiter's desk.

To have a resume that stands out, you'll be better served by downloading one of the unique Microsoft Word-compatible resume templates found at this site or by designing one of your own. Or—alternatively—you could hire a resume writing service like Resume Edge .

Whatever route you decide to take, just make sure that your resume is well-written and that it stands out from the crowd!

By the Way: If you're looking for another source of free resume templates, I highly recommend you check out this online resume builder website, where you'll not only find templates, but also an easy-to-use interface that enables you to create and submit your resume and a cover letter. There's a super cool free trial too.
