Resume Advice

I am getting ready to apply to some of the regionals and Airnet. I would like some advice as to how to create a professional resume. I have found a couple of places on line that will make a resume for you but they all want to charge $300 & more. Does anyone know of a template or just have some general advice?
Should I list non aviation jobs? Break down hours in each type of plane?????

Thanks for your help

You don't need to break down the hours in each aircraft. Review the resume tutorial, it may clear some of this up.

If you want someone to create your resume for you, I offer a resume optimization service for $45.

Hope this helps!

If anyone needs help with their resume Lori Clark is the lady that knows what right looks like. I have known of Lori for almost 10 years thru an organization that helps Army pilots get airline jobs and she has helped many of my friends make the jump to civilian flying. She won’t let you down!
