How to write a resume that is informative, attractive and easy to read

Please review this information thoroughly and prepare your resume draft before bringing your resume to be reviewed by a career counselor.   Look at resume samples, even those in other fields.   Start with a blank Word document – NEVER use a template!    
The resume should be a brief but informative summary of your education, employment or volunteer experience, and any specialized skills.  The layout should be attractive and easy to read or scan.  It should generate the kinds of questions you want to answer during an interview.
