Need a Resume - Create Free Printable Resumes

Too many websites claim that you can create free printable resumes, only to try and charge you before you can create one. I actually found a website that allows you to make a free printable resume for, get this, FREE! They also offer great information that helps with finding a new career.

Before I get into detail about CareerRush.com, the site that offers this resume builder, let's talk a little about employment in general. Through research of my own and knowing several friends that are managers at different companies, I can safely tell you something you must do if you want to get hired.

Resumes go hand in hand when applying for a job,but often times this is where most people mess up. How do you choose from all the resumes in your possession? I asked my friends this question. Jeff and Mark were very quick to tell me a couple of things about going through resumes. They both agreed that while looking at a stack of resumes, the first thing they do is toss out all the resumes that have lots of fancy borders and graphics on them.

Why, I asked them? "In the management world where you can hire and fire, if you are qualified for the job, chances are you know how to make a resume." You see, most employers and recruiters are used to seeing a common format that resumes are in. Adding all the crazy borders and fonts that may look pretty really hurt your chances of getting an interview. Another thing to think about is how the text in the resume is formatted. Both Mark and Jeff also agreed that when skimming resumes, they toss out the ones that looked all smashed together. Objective, employment history, and education history, should all look to be in their own section.

After hearing this from Jeff and Mark, I then went and did some searching on the internet, believe it or not, I found very similar responses from many different recruiting websites as well as on different job boards.

I also found many websites claiming to allow you to create free printable resumes. Most want you to pay in order to use their services. Others just gave poor quality examples that you would have to copy and tweak on your own. Then I found CareerRush. They claim to never charge jobseekers for anything.

With no payments and what seems to be high quality information, I recommend you check them out if you are looking to make a printable resume online.
