Procedure:

Write a one-page (2 pages  if you've been working more than 8 years) resume for yourself.
If you have one already written start with that.

Make it look terrific by using san serif proportional fonts and a variety of point sizes, bold, Italics, borders etc.

Be sure to check out the hints on this site, the samples and sites linked to by this site.

For Horizontal spacing: Format with Paragraph Indents & Spacing and Tabs (NOT the space bar) so words and fonts can be easily changed. 

For Vertical spacing (leading): Use Paragraph formatting of Space Before and Space After, NOT enters.  

Using Tables make it much easier.

Resumes go through constant revision, prepare for it.

Hint turn on "Show All Characters" in Options. 

Consider posting your resume on the Web.
