How do you build a resume?

Begin writing in Microsoft Word with plain text. You don't really need a template to do a good job. From there most resumes are divided into sections... -At the top of the page have your name (larger font), address, phone, and email. -Next, make a section titled "Objective". Here you will write something like... "Talented bi-lingual candidate seeking rewarding translator role." -Other sections could include: "Education", "Experience", "Awards", and "Skills." I hope that this helps... there are also a lot of examples out there on the internet.
