Google Your Resume.
For college students and others the most useful tools for perfecting your resume are Google, Yahoo, Inktomi and other terrific Internet search engines. These engines will give you access to a broad set of resources for preparing a resume.
Start with a job target. (See 10 Steps to a Perfect Resume in the detailed information section) Simply enter the title, Fitness Trainer on cruise line, for example. In seconds you will be connected to hundreds of descriptions, positions, stories, postings and more. With these you can note skills and qualities required in this work, names of people who can give you insider information (salary, working conditions, pet peeves), the names of organizations that do the hiring and perhaps even the people whom you will ultimately want to contact.
Use this data to build a foundation for your resume so that when you do apply, what you have collected about yourself is powerful and relevant.
Action: Play around with your search engine and your skills and job targets. You will expand your understanding of your field enormously.
