If you’ve ever installed a program on your computer before, odds are you’ve used a “wizard.” These programs are designed with easy to follow instructions that guide you through a process. For a software program, you usually choose the location of your installation, what features to install, and read a license agreement, and the program does the rest.
A resume builder wizard works in a similar manner. It has simple instructions that you follow to create the perfect resume for your job application. The wizard is designed to point you in the right direction when it comes to finding information. It tells you what you need to include about your education, experience, skills, and more. So, instead of spending hours outlining your resume, you have guidance. It’s almost the same as having a professional resume writer by your side every step of the way!
The wizard also takes all of your input information and gives you a final product. So, you don’t have to worry about formatting as much. You simply put the information in, choose your resume style, and *poof*, your resume is complete.
Choosing the right resume wizard is important, of course. One of the most trusted wizards available is through Microsoft. The Microsoft Word program has a built-in resume wizard for you to use. Simply go to the “File” menu and click “New.” The New Document pane will pop up, and from there you can find the templates button. Click the “On my computer” option and then click the “Other Documents” tab. There, you’ll see the button for the resume wizard (if it’s not there, you might have to download and install it).
The Microsoft Word resume wizard will instruct you from there. It will collect all the information it needs from you and plug it in to one of Word’s resume templates. You’ll have a finished product in no time.
