Disk No: 1097 Program Title: RESUMEBEST & FORMGEN version 3.31 PC-SIG version: 1.4 Perhaps one of the most important factors in job interviews is not only a first impression, but also what you give your prospective employers - your resume. It is a set of files that has valuable information on how you can create the best possible resume. Not only can you achieve a better looking resume, but it is done at a much lower price than what other services offer. RESUMEBEST does not recommend that you slavishly follow one particular format. But it presents several different formats so that you can choose the one that best fits your past experience and the particular job you are looking for. Not only does it show what you should do for each resume section, but it also gives information concerning the proper order of presentation, the correct wording, the amount you should write, the type of paper that should be used, how to make a cover sheet, and more. The files on this disk include sample resumes in different formats so that you can learn the proper order for writing a resume. Other files on this disk should be referred to as you prepare your resume. Everyone eventually has to write a resume, and RESUMEBEST will help you review and prepare each of your resumes and will give some important tips and pointers. RESUMEBEST is a program that has professional advice that you should not do without -- your improved resume will give you a better chance to obtaining your next, or even first job. FORMGEN works like a word processor with added graphics features useful for creating forms. Horizontal and Vertical thin and thick lines are among the most frequently used functions and are activated by pressing Alt F1, F2 and Ctrl F1, F2. Contents can be easily marked and copied, or moved to other destinations in the document. You can print a form by pressing Alt F10, and options for Pica (10 cpi) or Elite (12 cpi) are available. The word processor has most standard functions plus easy access to quick reference help (F10), quick display of files (Alt F), and calling the operating system to load a secondary copy of DOS (Alt O), allowing files to be copied, disks formatted, and other programs to be run from within FormGen. The program is easy to use and an effective tool for making forms with graphics limited to the combinations of thin and thick lines and two type fonts and sizes. Usage: Job Resumes/Forms Generation.
