What is it good for?!
I have read that the Chicago Style Guide is the most extensive, but they charge to use it. I do not know about the others, but since I can hardly find anything on it, I would prefer to look in the largest haystack, although since everything that I see on style guides thus far shows years without numbers, I suppose that I have my answer.

Stop using your sisters and mother as an excuse to delay writing your resume. Just do it, and attach a reward for successfully completing and submitting it. Don't partake in that reward until it's been completed.

When I joined the Army, I was told that I would always write dates 12 Aug 2015 and that is how I have done it ever since. Of course, I was then told a couple of different ways that I would always do it. On occasion, I need to use Month-Day-Group or something, which is specifically designed to be confusing.
I have been told to make my résumé reflect the job listing--if it lists ten qualifications, say that you have as many as you actually possess. I found a sample résumé, but aside from one job, it was absolutely minimalistic, perhaps barren, but eventually I found one job listing with at least fifteen qualifications, so I included them. I am just trying to fill out the rest of it.
My sister said that she excelled at embellishment and my other sister and our mom said that I needed to send it to all of them, but especially that one. I applied for my license and am waiting for it in the mail. I will start applying and submitting my résumé once I have my license and I still expect companies to tell me to wait until I have the other documents. I cannot apply for them until I have my license.
As for a reward, how about a paycheck?
Or, wait until am paid to reward myself?
Like pay off my credit card...
