    Creating a Resume Using Microsoft Word 2007

    Microsoft Word comes equipped with many resume templates. A template determines the
    basic structure for the document such as fonts, page layout, and styles.

    Finding a Template

    From the desktop, open Microsoft Office Word 2007. Click on the Office button located in the
    upper right-hand corner. Select New.

    Scroll down and click on ‘Resumes and CVs’ on the left side of the task pane.

    Click once on one of the resume types. Note that a sample of the document is displayed in the
    center pane. Once you have selected a resume template, click ‘Download’ in the bottom right.

    To Edit and Enter Text

    You have the blueprint for your resume, and you can now add your own text. Depending on the
    template you chose, the sample text in your resume that needs to be replaced may be
    surrounded by square brackets. If so:

    1. Click on a resume item enclosed in brackets.


    2. Type in the information you would like to appear on your resume.
    3. Edit and insert text until you have completed your resume.
    4. Double check it to make sure all of the information has been entered and spelled
    correctly.

    Saving Your Resume

    Make sure you save your work! The first time you save your work, use ‘Save As’, which can be
    found by clicking on the Microsoft Office button. Select ‘Word 97-2003 Document’ from the
    ‘Save as type’ menu. This will ensure that everyone can open your file. This will bring up the
    option to rename your file and select where it will be saved. It is a nice touch to put your first
    and last name along with the word ‘resume’ in the title. Any time you wish to save after this,
    click on the blue floppy disk that is next to the Office button. If you are using a library
    computer, you will need to save your resume to a flash drive and/or e-mail a copy to yourself as
    an attachment.

    Other Templates

    Microsoft provides many other templates that may be of use when applying for jobs. There are
    employment letters, cover letters, and business cards just to name a few. You can access these
    document templates the same you accessed the resume template.
