My Resume Sucks and I Hate It

I hate writing and re-writing my resume. The reason I hate it is because most of the times I have written my resume, it doesn’t sound like me. My starting point for writing my resume has always been a great looking template that I found on the net, or the resume of a friend.

Is there a better way for me write about my career history, qualifications, skill set that is valuable to a hiring manager, than the boring cookie cutter format that is indistinguishable from everyone else’s resume.
