Online Resume Writing Tool Available for Job Seekers



by Amber Covington Rowan Public Library

Cypress Resume is a free digital resource available to all Rowan Public Library cardholders to access as a guide to create professional resumes. As a member of the NC Live consortium, RPL has a subscription to this online resume writing tool that allows users to create and revise resumes. With the ease of accessing the library’s website anyone can begin to create or revise their resume within minutes. Online Google search results for resume templates can be quite daunting.  A simple search yields thousands of examples that may not fit the layout necessary for the job a person may be applying for. To ease the process of searching for the right resume template online, simply create an account with Cypress Resume to begin a customized layout that fits your needs.

Simply, create an account with Cypress Resume and begin to fill in your information to create a resume, cover letter, or reference sheet. Each section has required fields for your information (i.e. full name, address, and contact information) which populates to create a professional resume listing your educational background, jobs, and skills. Once all fields are completed press the preview button and voila, a resume appears. For people that prefer to create their own layout check out these book titles for formatting and layout designs:
“Knock’em Dead Resumes” by Martin Yate

“Best Resumes for College Students and New Grads: Jump Start Your Career” by Louise Kursmark

“The Quick Resume & Cover Letter Book: Write and Use an Effective Resume in Only One Day” By Michael Farr
