i went there today for some tips and i also found this site.
How to Write a Resume | Free Resume Builder
not sure how well up to date it is.
This page on that site has some good tips.
How many classes do you have to complete before you will be CISCO-certified? Is certification required for the job you want? If it is, you would be better off waiting to change jobs until you have the cert. Or, you can put something like this on your resume:
Currently pursuing CISCO certification; expected finish date: xx/xx/2008
You need to determine what you want to say before going to a resume-builder site. Include anything and everything you have done, paid or not, related to computer/network stuff. Include headings like Skills, Employment History, Education and Community Service (if any). If you've been in a club or served on a board or committee of an organization outside of work, include that here. The last item should say: References available upon request.
Write a separate page of references and include people who can attest to your skills, including current and/or former supervisors and instructors. Avoid friends, relatives and co-workers; they won't be seen as objective.
Remember that it can be very difficult to find a new job during a recession, although with CISCO cert., it should be easier. If it won't be very long, say six months or so, before you finish the cert., I'd advise staying put till you have it. HTH.
