I had a job scare not too long ago, so I had mine updated, but spent some more time on it today (should've really tomorrow, but I couldn't wait).
I do need to really update the stylization of mine, since I do work in the design field. Right now it is simple, but not too simple. I need to create something more cutting edge, but still keep within the lines of acceptable. - Attachments:

Impressive credentials! My only suggestion is to change the formatting a bit so you can try to get it on one page. It's a not a chisled in stone rule, but most HR experts suggest that a resume should only be one page.
I think this could be done by making the font a bit smaller. Other than that, very good! -

Nice format if people would like to use it. I haven't really had a normal job so it is focused on leadership experience.
Suggestions welcome! :) - Attachments:

This is a really great format! I'd definitely suggest people use this. Nice and clean and very scanable.
Also, impressive credentials! Army Commendation Medal= very cool. Thank you for your service! -

Done and done.
Not much to change - but always cathartic to trim it down to just over 1 page. No potential employer wants to wade through a 3-volume opus! - Attachments:

Hi Craig,
Thanks for the feedback. I would change it but I'm pretty happy in my job right now so the pressure is off to change it!
Cheers,

I've got a bit of advice, for those that are emailing resumes, or even printing them on the go, it would be a good idea to save them as a PDF. My reason why is this; you don't want to send it to a possible employer/printer that doesn't (for some off chance) have Word, or whatever program you created it in.
Especially now, even the newest version of Microsoft Word uses a new file extension: ".docx" and some computers won't be updated enough to open them. Just an FYI. -
