Nobody can ever underestimate how important it is to have a good resume. first impression that a potential employer will have of you, is going to depend on how you present your resume.The average employer only spends a few seconds looking at a resume, so it is important that it makes an impression.There are different formats that you can chose from,that are A chronological resume,This is the most common type of resume format used. The chronological format lists your most recent employment history (or education) first, with your jobs appearing by date in a time line. and a functional resume,The functional resume will focus far more on your skills and achievements, rather than job titles and places of employment. If you want to get more information about this please visit to the site resume writing service reviews.

I know this is SPAM but....I can add some input to this some might find useful without using any resume service and doing on their own.
With my new management role comes a ton of hiring lately. I was pulled into doing the pre-screenings for recruitment as well. What I can tell you about a good resume or CV is from direct knowledge of my work with a hiring team for about 300 people in 2 months time. Take with a grain of salt or to heart.
Don't have ANY misspelled words, grammar errors, or typos. We have a special file for these CVs called the bin. Proof read and double check. Also, don't forget to update your CV, obvious gaps will go in the bin too. We have thousands of candidates to look over so really we can afford to bin the ones with mistakes.
Don't write a book or be overly creative with the structure of your CV unless you are going for a role that is in that type of field. Put your information in an easy to read style and format. The volume of resumes is mind boggling and over done ones just give us a migraine and will cut back on your chances for being called for that interview. Don't go into too much detail about things that don't matter. Everybody has gone to school and been on teams, so unless you won some mass rewards for it, keep it off the CV. I don't need to see your actual grades unless I ask for them. Some people actually listed a break down of grades with Ds on them on their CV, really? Do you think that is something you should be offering up?
List all your job related skills you use in a role, not just the role. Don't assume we know things just because you list the role. Be honest and detailed and avoid too much jargon. We are not impressed by it.
Two pages is enough for a CV. Period.
If you want to do an opening statement selling yourself, just keep it reigned in a bit. Too much cheese can make you appear un-professional. Try to sound like you would in person at the interview, not like you would as a used car salesman.
You do this and have the skill set, and you should be getting plenty of call backs.
Side Note: If you get the interview...learn STAR, don't try to fake it. It is not that hard, just practice some STAR examples and you will kill it at your interviews as well. Also, smile and be friendly. We know you are nervous but it's a job interview, not a funeral.
