Remember all that training your school gave you about how to put together an awesome resume? Of course not, because no one bothers to teach you that, do they? If you're lucky, maybe you got some pointers from a career counselor, but ask yourself something. If Mr. Career Counselor knows so much about what employers like, then why is he still grinding it out as a career counselor at the local college? Ever think of that?

Occasionally, someone who's actually applied for and gotten real jobs will weigh in on what makes a great resume. Here's a tip: Listen to those people. Don't be one of the blind who's led by the blind. Be one of the blind who's led by the seeing. Sighted. Whatever.
