How do i write a good resume to make a good impression? ive been applying for jobs for about 3weeks now and only 2 have send me a request for an interview. How do i write a good resume to make more employers write back?
The first step is determining what you are trying to accomplish. What is the job you are applying for? Summarize it in an objective statement at the beginning of your resume after your name and contact info (which of course should be up to date!). Like this:
"Objective: Seeking an entry-level sales position in the Portland, OR area."
Don’t be afraid to amend this sentence according to the potential employer you are submitting it to. If your career goal is undefined, start the resume with a qualifications summary by listing your most valuable accomplishments.
If you are a student or recent graduate, describe your education before your previous job experience. If you have a professional career behind you, Describe your work experience before your education.
Try to pick out the attributes of your previous work experience and education that relate to the job you are applying for. Be strategic in connecting your previous, possibly unrelated job responsibilities to this potential new job. Think like the employer/interviewer, "What am I looking for in an applicant for this position?" Identify your experiences that mimic the answer to this question and concisely summarize them on your resume under your work history.
Lastly, use perfect grammar and spelling. You cannot afford to have typographical errors on your resume. They are a red flag for incompetence, regardless of their severity.
If you want more tips like this, a great resource is Microsoft’s Office Live Students Facebook page. The page is intended to be a knowledge base for students approaching graduation, but most of the advice is useful to anyone who is job hunting.

That’s not bad odds, considering how the economy’s going!
