I am looking for a good resume builder, they seem quite pricey and not sure if they are worth the $$$.

Does anyone have any recommendations on this ?

I would NEVER recommend using a resume builder. Do you want your resume to look like all of the others out there? NO !!

Be unique. Create a resume that is all about you. Nothing fancy, but certainly not a template.

Deb is absolutely right, don't pay good money for a template that may be wholly unsuitable. You may be after several different jobs and you'll want to tailor your resume for each one. A template won't do that so you'll be back to square one again.

Use the advice pages on this site and you won't go far wrong.

A resume builder will build you a resume that looks like it was made by a piece of software. You will do better to write it yourself or have a professional write it for you.

To Your Success,

One good resource for finding sample resumes is at www.sample-resumes.net

Check it out and you might not need a resume builder.

A resume is a one of a kind document, but don't be dissuaded from using a resume builder, since the best ones are highly flexible.

You can find a list of resume builders, along with prices, features and reviews of each, at http://www.TopResumeBuilders.com

Good luck,
