[quote name='The Mana Knight']Uh, I decided to do some searching online for Engineering resumes, and due to finding several examples, it's going to take me longer to finalize my new one. The reason is I'm trying to create the perfect resume, since being a perfectionist is very important to me (there will be a blog entry over my perfectionism problem I have). Every resume I've seen makes mine look terrible, so I'm going to spend time making a new one.
Out of curiosity, those who put one together, did they try making their own format, or tried using a MS Word template or something?[/quote]
Sorry, but you're an idiot.
There is no such thing as a perfect resume.
Shit, I bet Superman and Jesus couldn't combine their resumes to make one perfect resume.
It sounds like you're trying to create a resume that's a 'one size fits all'. But you can't do that.
What you need to do is READ the description on the job you're applying for and be flexible with the resume to make it suit the EMPLOYER'S needs
Terry, it's not OK to not be looking for work while you try to create the Philosopher's Stone.
You have a pool of skills, experience, knowledge/classes right?
Look for work then decide what you're gonna pull from that pool for the resume
