It is said that a clever person learns from the mistakes of others rather than from his/her own. Bearing this in mind, the first and foremost approach to writing your resume is to see how others do it and learn from these examples. In this article, we will talk about available free sample resumes.
 
Free sample resumes: where to find
 
There are two possible ways to get a sample resume for free. First is to visit your friends, relatives or other people who can provide you with a sample resume for free. Sometimes this means less time and efforts to be spent on writing your own resume. But on the other hand, no one can guarantee the high quality of such free sample resume.
 
The second way is to look for special services online. They have different databases of free sample resumes, moreover, such online services offer various tips and guides on how to write a strong resume and succeed. This way is good from almost any point of view. The only disadvantage is that free sample resumes tend to be rather plain and overused. This can be especially disadvantageous if you are applying for a creative position.
 
Free sample resumes: what to check
 
When browsing the databases of free sample resumes, pay a close attention to the following things:

• Overall organization and logic structure. Ideally, the type of your position (managerial, creative, etc.) should have its own resume form, which fits your particular needs.
• See how free sample resumes describe previous working experience of their authors.
• See what ways and approaches authors use to describe their strength.
• Make sure to see how they describe other occupations and (sometimes) hobbies to stress their features, which cannot be described in the working experience section of free sample resumes.

All in all, good luck!
