For managers, professionals, students or anyone who needs a great looking resume- fast!

Creating a good looking resume is an essential part of managing your career. And creating that resume yourself ensures it will accurately represent you. But using a word processor to get that professional look is almost impossible since resumes require mixing multiple fonts, text styles, and tab settings on a single page. Now, there is a solution.

The Resume Kit contains everything you need to write, format and print a truly great resume- in minutes! Select from the list of nine resume styles and fill in the on-screen forms with your experience, education, skills and interests. Simply choose from a variety of character fonts and use bold facing, underlining and spacing to get a professional looking, formatted resume in a snap. And making adjustments is easy when you preview your work on-screen. Change the font or the spacing between sections. Or, add a line after your name for emphasis. The Resume Kit is automatic- yet offers the flexibility you need for a resume-style that's completely your own.

In a keystroke, your resume is printed and ready to go. The whole writing process- from start to finish- can take as little as 30 minutes. You may even want to create several resumes in different styles to emphasize various skills or target specific jobs. And, The Resume Kit supports over 200 of the most popular printers.

But that's not all! The Resume Kit includes other essential job hunting helpers such as a word processor for writing cover and follow up letters. There is also a complete on-screen calendar system to record activity, keep track of appointments and remind you of call back dates. The Resume Kit has everything you need to make your job search painless- and successful!
