Top Resume Tips for Job Seekers on a Tight Budget 

Looking for a job can be difficult, especially if you are on a tight budget. However, there are ways to create a great resume without breaking the bank. 

Use free resume templates that are available online. These templates are easy to use and help you create a professional-looking resume.  Focus on the content of your resume rather than the design. A well-written resume will always be more effective than a visually appealing one. 

Ask a close friend or member of your family to proofread your resume. Proofreading will ensure your resume is error-free and presents you in the best possible light. Lastly, tailor your resume to the job you are applying for. Highlight your skills and experiences matching the job description. 

In conclusion, creating a great resume doesn’t have to be expensive. By using free templates, focusing on content, proofreading, and tailoring your resume, you can increase your chances of landing your dream job.

A retired Air Force Master Sergeant, Mike used to lay in bed at night and worry about what would happen if his plant closed or found himself without a job. One day his plant closed. Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future. Mike holds a Master of Arts in Adult Education and Training and a Bachelor of Business Management, earned through the University of Phoenix and an AAS degree in Electronics Systems Technology from the Community College of the Air Force.
