Home	RESUME FORMATS:  Choose the one that's right for you! The truth about resumes from a seasoned Human Resource professional:   more than one page is fine as long as it's well-written and is more than one page out of necessity.     If you're just trying to fill space to make it look like you have experience…don't.  HR professionals see right through the lengthy description of your responsibilities at the fast food drive thru.      Make it clear and concise and have an attention grabber at the top. Even if you're fresh out of college you can highlight positive attributes demonstrated in team projects or other class assignments.        Visit our Certification Resource Section to find great on-line opportunities to add some zip - some of them are FREE!       Be clear about the position you are looking for.
