Parts Of A Resume Worksheet: Fill & Download for Free

In my personal experience I think the three skills that are most valuable on a resume in a wide range of fields are:Macros - VBA coding knowledge is required, but this is a huge benefit for any company. Macros essentially speed up monotonous processes and save companies time and money.Pivot Tables - Pivot tables are great for manipulating large amounts of data and presenting specific sum totals based on criteria.VLOOKUPS/HLOOKUPS - Think of these formulas as data finders. They search for information to return based on another input. For example in one cell you could have the name of a product and on another tab you could have a listing of 25,000 SKUs. A VLOOKUP would return the SKU related to the product you entered into the original cell.Pivot Tables and VLOOKUPS can be learned in one day. You won’t be an expert, but you will be able to put some decent worksheets together. Writing macros will take longer to learn, but once you understand them you will be a huge asset to your employer.I hope this specific information helped.

Dave and Atul - I am sorry to hear that you had negative experiences with professional resume writers. Having worked as a resume writer for more than 20 years, I know that there are many excellent, dedicated, highly professional writers/career advisors who do great work for their clients! But just as in every field, some practitioners are better than others.Dave, your points are well taken about what really works in job search: targeted search, research, networking, direct contact. No doubt about it.But the resume is still an essential part of the job search process for most people. And the time spent creating that consolidated career story can be extremely beneficial - not just the end result, but the process of identifying key themes and threads, recalling details of achievements, and sharpening the focus to match current goals. Not everyone is good at that or wants to spend the time doing it. We professional resume writers love doing it!As you mentioned, Atul, getting a referral from a colleague or friend who has used a resume writer is an excellent idea. You should also look at resume samples to see if you like the general style of the writer (and if all the samples look and sound alike, that's a bad sign!). And you want to be sure that you have input into the process - ideally a lengthy one-on-one consultation with your writer, in addition to providing prior resumes and perhaps completing a worksheet.Dave, you mentioned that you had received a "hard sell pitch" from a resume service affiliated with BlueSteps. I think that must have been at least 4-5 years ago, because for the last 4 years I have been managing the team of writers and coaches providing services to BlueSteps members. Yes, we do charge a fee for writing and coaching services, but we are definitely not hard sell. And we do not use XXX-outs in our resume samples, and you would never be able to tell who those people really are! I am extremely proud of the professionalism and expertise of my team. Our satisfaction rating from members who choose to purchase our services is about 99%.Bottom line: You can do it yourself, but you can also get reputable, expert, caring assistance if you choose to go that route. I am very proud of my profession.

Your workbook is slow in saving because it contains circular references. Rather than fixing the problem, you turned on iterative calculations with a limit of 100 iterations. Then to gain some productivity back, you changed the calculation mode to manual.When Excel is asked to save a file, it first recalculates the workbook. That means waiting for all 100 iterations of a complete recalculation to be processed. And since you have a number of worksheets that rely heavily on SUMPRODUCT formulas, it’s going to take a while.You will make a large improvement to your workbook’s recalculation time if you turn iterative calculation off and eliminate the circular references. If a worksheet contains circular references, you will see a note describing where one is in the left side of the status bar underneath your workbook (e.g. cell CY12 on worksheet Data). On a worksheet that does not itself contain circular references, you will see a note in the status bar saying circular reference, but without mentioning a particular cell.While the suggestions in the next two sections may be easier to implement, you will remain unhappy with workbook performance until after you remove the circular references.Once you finish addressing the big problem described above, you may make further improvement by following Stuart McCormack’s advice, and deleting the rows containing zero data that Excel still thinks are part of the used range in your workbook. You can recognize these worksheets at a glance because they have a small slider on the vertical scrollbar, and there is a lot of travel left at the bottom of your data.If you want a macro to automate the process of putting your workbook on a diet and deleting those unused rows and columns:Sub ExcelDiet()    Dim ws As Worksheet  Dim LastRow As Long  Dim LastCol As Long    Application.ScreenUpdating = False    On Error Resume Next    For Each ws In ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets  With ws  LastRow = .Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=.Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, _  LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row  LastCol = .Cells.Find(What:="*", After:=.Range("A1"), LookIn:=xlValues, _  LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByColumns, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Column  Range(.Cells(1, LastCol + 1), .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)).Delete  Range(.Cells(LastRow + 1, 1), .Cells(.Rows.Count, .Columns.Count)).Delete  LastRow = .UsedRange.Rows.Count  End With  Next ws    On Error GoTo 0   End Sub Finally, consider saving your file with .xlsb file extension. Your file size will decrease from 3.2 MB to 1.95 MB. Your file will also open and save much faster than the same file saved as .xlsx or .xlsm.
