Write a short bio of your skill sets (look at the classified to get idea for specific sets you have that are being sought). Include items such as computer program knowledge, soft skills, hr knowledge, etc. I would also look at the monster message boards they have places to post resumes and letters for review. I would also ask everyone you trust to review your resume before sending it out. The more eyes on it the better - plus it will help network that you are seeking a new position. Also I'm sure your local business chronicle has a Book of Lists which lists all the employers in your area in categories. This is a wonderful guide for sending resumes to particular types of companies - law firms to real estate agencies etc. You can probably find a copy at your local library. Also google resumes for sample resumes and terminology - the IAAP websight also (used to anyway) has a web page for good bad better terminology for action verbs on resumes. You might also consider building a portfolio to take to interviews to showcase your work, accomplishments, certificates or diplomas. (Again I think the IAAP website has a link for building portfolios) Last thought you might consider building a power point resume on yourself, not to send out per se, but to use during the interview. Serves a double purpose - showcases your powerpoint skill set and gives the interviewer a snap shot of you! Hope this helps and good luck.
