Here's how it works. You answer questions about yourself, including your name, address, current and previous employers, jobs you've held, training and education you've completed and awards and acknowledgments you've received. The resume wizard will then compile the information into a resume and format it.

Not every wizard program works the same way, but the variations are so slight, it may not matter which one you choose. This 'magic' formula may seem to be the answer for you, especially if your writing skills are weak or you feel uncertain about taking on the task yourself.

However, despite the help you receive from such a program, it's important that you edit the finished document to be sure it looks professional in every way and reflects you and your personal circumstances as well as the job you wish to pursue.

Don't Be Fooled

Some job seekers are confused by the word wizard. It can give the impression that creating a work resume is some magical, hocus-pocus process that is difficult to understand, to create, and to send to potential employers and professional contacts. But that is not the case at all.

One company dropped the word wizard and replaced it with template—which is simply an example or sample of a real-world resume, the kind job searchers just like you are using everyday to land an interview and a position in the company they are targeting.

So if you're ready to draft a resume, take your time, jot down all the basic information mentioned above, check the Internet for various templates in the market you wish to enter and then decide whether to write your own or invest in some help by experts in the field of resume writing.

It may turn out that you are the wizard after all—since you are the one who best knows yourself and what you are looking for.
