When I did the detailed keyword research on this subject it was interesting to note that the most searched for phrase was “how to write a good resume”, followed by “how to write a great resume”.

Based on this, I can only suppose that some people are worried that they might land on a site that claims to show people how to write a bad resume! [grin]

In any case, you don’t have to worry about what you find on this site because I only post what I consider to be excellent samples of real-life resumes and curriculum vitae.
