Is iWork pages good for resume's?

I have IWork '08 but never installed it. Now I'd like to make myself a nice resume with it....is it good for that? Are there any templates included and is it hard to use?

Thanks!

The answers are: Yes, Yes, Yes & No.

Now you will have to go somewhere else and ask does Peter know what he is talking about? Then you will have to ask about whoever responds to that, ad infinitum.

Of course you could just install iWork '08, try it and get the answer to each one of your questions in a matter of minutes.

Gothboy.... so we meet again, Mr. Bond!

I have pages 09 and when you start it up it up you can open one of many templates. Under word processing, there are 11 very cool resume templates.

I glanced at the getting started guide and I see that resumes' are included which is great because I never thought I'd actually use iWork. Looking forward to using it the Word app. on the PC we have is just awful. Thanks guys!

An important point, which should be obvious, but isn't to everyone... If you are sending out electronic copies of your resumé, be sure to export to PDF. Don't send a Pages document, because few recipients will be able to read it.
