Do research on EACH company you apply to,know the names of the hiring people, president, VP, etc. of company, know exactly what they do, what they are looking for, and tell them quickly how you will be a great asset to them. Keep all this to less than one page. Your resume should reflect ONLY what your experience has been with respect to what that company is looking for. If you demonstrate that you have gone this distance to get the job, you will have shown them you will go the distance if you get the job. That separates the boys from the men.

Go to your bookstore and find a resume book in the business/career section. You can also find examples and templates online if you do a search.\n\nIf you have less than 10 years of experience, you want your resume to be one page. Generally, clearly show your name, mailing address, email address if available, and best phone number(s) to contact you.\n\nThen show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake). You should instead indicate what you have accomplished and the results. Also, try not to use technical words and jargons. Do not abbreviate.\n\nBelow are some sample resumes for your reference.\n\nhttp://www.resume-resource.com/samples.h...\n\nGood luck and have a nice day.

There are some great resume examples here, too.  The best thing about this site is that they show you a person's resume in all 3 of the most common formats (chronological, functional and combination), so you can see how one person's information looks in different formats.  It is a neat approach and it's also free.

You've gotten some good advice so far, but I wanted to add this to your list: www.wordtechs.com. These guys helped me with my resume and it had some tricky problems, too. Only cost me a few dollars, and it was done in a couple of days. They could at least offer you good advice.\n\nGood luck!\n~Tia~

Then show your education, work experience, any interests, achievements, and skill sets. Under your work experience, it is not a list of your job descriptions (this is a common mistake).

I'd always like putting these kinds of things in my resume. \n\nHave a section called Seminars and Trainings and list that under there. You may not be an expert on it, but the fact that you already attended this type of seminar sends a signal to a prospective boss that you have other skills that may prove valuable to a job position or in the entire organization. Plus, it can tell your boss that he may not need to spend on this seminar for you anymore because you've already had one!

Flood the marketplace. Send out as many paper resumes as you can, as well as doing monster.com and such. Paper resumes say alot though.

You may want to use a Functional Resume, which focuses on your skills & accomplishments rather than your employment history.\n\nYou will still most likely deal with the interviewer's questions, but try to answer them in a positive note that focuses on the employer's need.\n\nYou can find out more info at http://www.effective-resume-writing.com

As a reviewer of 100's of resume's in the architecture field, I can say it really depends on what company/university you are applying to. Different ones will want different things. Some easy tips.\n\n1) Don't mention obvious stuff like you're ontime and you're a nice guy.\n2) Dont' mention skills in things you don't want to perform.\n3) Be sure to have an objection section and make that specific to each university you apply to.\n4) Make it visually appealing. Clean and use indenting. It's easier to read.\n5) Important stuff on top and less important on the bottom of the page. Honestly we don't get to the bottom of most resumes.
