Resume writing, anyone??

[DDD]

My husband has been invited to submit his resume for appointment to the Board of Directors of a Statewide 501C3 organization. Of course he confidently asked me to type one for him to mail off tomorrow or Wednesday.

Does anyone know of an online resource that could guide me on preparing a resume for a 75 year old man? I think of resumes as something to prepare when job hunting in your young or middle years!

Of course I'll include his UConn degree and his community service as a young man but he's been self employed for over forty years. I gave up my community service work about six
years ago and he got his turn. Yes, he has worthwhile credentials and awards to include but I don't know how to
structure it.

Any ideas?? DDD

Good Golly Ms. Molly! How would I survive without you all?
It's a shame you weren't around when I was in school...I would have gotten a PhD.

Thank you so much! DDD

I think careerbuilder dot com and monster dot com also have sections on writing resumes. Good luck to husband!
