My top 5 free resources and articles on the internet to improve your resume
My resume skills could be a lot better so that’s why I always resort to the internet for ideas to improve them. Here’s a collection of the best (IMHO) resume writing and editing resources on the Web.
- Quintessential Careers: Resume and CV Resources. Quint Careers is one of the go-to places on the internet for all things careers.
- Proven Resumes: templates and tips trimmed to your specific career. An exhaustive list of resume templates for every imaginable profession and strategies to take your resume to a new level (lots of on topic content).
- Live Clever: Give Your Resume a Facelift: step by step instructions on how to improve your resume’s design. A great resource to start with.
- ResumeBear: ResumeBear allows you to activate text and email alerts so you will know in real time when your resume has been opened and is being read. This allows you to act quickly to secure that initial interview. If the recipient forwards your resume to someone, you will have that information as well and here’s the address to their blog.
- Monster.com: Creative ways to improve your resume: out of the box ideas to tweak your resume
Feel free to add any others you could think of to aide those in need of a better resume.

I Think it is good collection of information and one should bookmark it for future references. A very clever idea of presenting a user with variety of information to read and take good tips from it.

Hello Fernando,
You have listed very nice resources for developing resume skills. But these resources are not free resources. I have some good recommendations for free resume resources, they are as: Emurse, Visual CV, Lead You, How to write a Resume.Net, and My resume online.
