My experiences with two diff pkgs - templates good, however are very
hard to modify. Guidelines included are very good. Suggest, that you
give them references (Gorilla Tactics..., Hiring The Best..) for resume
guidelines, and tell them to use the basic formatting with their favorite
DTP pkg (Word4Win, WordPerfect, Frame, etc all have resume templates that
can be easily modified)
