There are many resources out there for sample resumes to check for formatting, both online and in different books. I chose not to include sample resumes in the book because I didn’t want readers to focus on the formatting, but rather on the content, the words, the stories that you tell in the resume to make the reader interested. I’ve found that when presented with a sample resume, people tend to take out the sample information, plug in their own, and leave it at that. (For more about this, see my blog post Resume-building websites are worse than worthless.)
The sample sections and bullets that I put in the book are to help inspire the words and stories that you want to tell, but I don’t want you to follow too closely. They’re there for inspiration, not emulation.
Once you get the words and ideas together on what you want to say, you can pick up any source of sample resumes to follow the formatting guidelines presented there. Your public library will have dozens.
(Thanks for the note about the link. It’s been fixed.)
