    Writing a resume
    I am trying to get a job as clerical at a collection agency but requires a resume. I haven't never type up a resume so I was wondering if someone can help me make up a resume. I haven't really worked in an office before. I have only worked at pizza hut and McDonald's so how could I possibly make that look good in a resume. Please help!!

    That's how we can line things up on your resume.

    What word processing programs do you have on your computer, please?

    Thanks!

    Now you need to set up the page. You go to File and click on Page Setup. I would suggest one inch borders all the way around.

    I'm in Word 1997. I would think that a lot of things should be similar.

    There should be a tab to click on to set your margins to how you want them. Or, do you have something that says Border?

    Now we need to put your heading at the top of the page. My preference is to have it centered because I think that it makes the page look more balanced.

    Some people prefer it to be on the left side, though.

    First Name, Middle Initial and Last Name
    Street Address
    City, State and Zip Code (I like to add the other four digits, too.)
    Phone Number and Email Address next to it

    We can work on the font style and size after you've put that information on it.

    Thanks!
