How to make your resume stand out!

This is my senior year of college and there is alot of talk about graduates trying to make their resume stand-out. All of the worry about the job market in the Motor City doesnt help one bit. My resume is nice, neat and has all of its working parts where it should be. Guess its just a representation of myself. Im not trying to throw glitter in your face, just showing you what i am capable of. My creativity, crazy personality, and love for marketing/advertising will show itself when we eventually meet in person. Hopefully that is not dependent upon me changing the header of my resume from black font to red.

Regardless, Microsoft has decided to help us all out with 6 Awesome Steps To Developing A Great Resume.

I have heard mixed results from recruiters about what they like to see in a resume. Some like to see creative layouts and colors, others just want it plain jane. No matter if you are going into Advertising (you may want to think about some color in your resume) or teaching middle school, these layouts offered by Microsoft should give you a nice little base to give your resume a certain level of umph(know what i mean?).

Hope you have enjoyed these little tid-bits of information. Time to get back to the Pistons game! Hopefully the injury Stuckey sustained in the 1st isnt too serious.
