Hey everyone,

I suppose I'll start the post by saying thanks to everyone at Mac-Forums.... it has been a great help to me for work & play. Thanks alot guys and keep up the good work!

My question:

Well I want to create an impressive online resume that I can link to in an email.
Yes, of course I have considered doing it myself manually.

But I am interested in finding out if there are any web based solutions out there that simplify the process. I assume there is something out there that can be just as effective.

Can anyone recommend one?

Thanks!

If you change your mind and decide to do it yourself, here are some examples of how to word:

I strongly recommend adding a short "personal" to the end of your resume. It truly represents you as a person outside of your profession. I would not say whether you are married or not for eg., but any interests you may have or any organization you may belong to which may help you over all as an employee.

I have never used them.
I would guess that they may be similar to the third link I posted earlier.
What is your profession?

Just to make it clear, are you planning to pay someone online to do it for you or you would like to learn how to do it?
Since you are in engineering you don't need any flashy design involved.

For layout sakes, I suggest you take a look at LaTeX. Any document prepared with LaTeX just looks so much more professional, and because it's more readable and aesthetically pleasing, it will have a subconscious positive effect on the reader :).
