Resume writing
http://www.rockportinstitute.com/resumes
http://www.rockportinstitute.com/resumes
http://www.how-to-write-a-resume.org/
These three sites are good to look at, they all go into detail on what an employer is looking for, how long your resume stands a chance of getting you that interview you so want, we are talking about seconds, and the best wording to use(action words), always aim to have the reader see the kinds of words that describe the psoition he is trying to fill. You want the reader to pick up the phone and set up an interview with you before he/she puts your resume down. Rockportinstitute goes futher in detail on what you should take into consideration when planning and outlining your resume. Be prepared to do a lot of reading and it may seem like there is much more work to do in writing your resume than there really is. Very informative good to go through and then take a look at another site. This will help in digesting all the information.
All agree that the look of your resume should be appealing to see with proper oranization, yes the work experience is important and ultimatley what they are interested in but organizing your resume so that it stands out in the first second is important because of the hundreds of resume employers look at these days.
One of the things that stands out in how to write a resume. org is they have a section on cover letter writin, which most jobs want. It also give you a section on tips for job interviewing, it is like a one stop shop for writing both a cover letter and resume along with interviewing tips and tools. This is my favorate of all its simple to the point and will help you produce a sample to compare with on a nother site like rockportinstitute.com/resume.

Best resume tips
http://www.worktree.com/tb/CL_tips.cfm
http://www.fastweb.com/college-jobs-internships/articles/242-top-ten-cover-letter-tips
http://blogs.hbr.org/silverman/2009/06/the-best-cover-letter.html
All of these sites have the same thing in common except for the last one, he suggests no cover letter for most jobs. Sounds like this guy sees a lot of cover letters. He does share, what he calls "the best cover letters he has read". I liked it, it is simple to the pint ( which the other sites suggest) He offers upfront the years of experience, companies, and which talent will best fit the job he is seeking ( the other sites also cover this) and lets him know he looks forward to speaking with him, on one of the other sites she suggests to let them know you will call, sort of a follow up, I feel this is too pushy, if I got across to you, you will make it a point ot get in contact with me, after all the person hiring is weeding out the bad and only focusing on the good (pile A and pile B).
All in all start the letter out addressed to a specific person, let them know your interested and what qualifies you. Try not to bore some one with a story.
