The Department of Defense (DOD) has a road map posted in PDF format for Unmanned Aerial Systems of the Federation Of American Scientists (http://fas.org/) that features countless data tables starting on page 3, and continue throughout the publication. Whether in regards to performance specifications, incident statistics, DOD research and development spending (p. 47), etc., they are needed to accurately convey the information.
The Federal Aviation Administration (www.faa.gov) has a road map as well, highlighting the plans to integrate Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in the the National Airspace System (NAS). While not as frequent, and are more conceptual in nature rather than attempting to describe specific datasets, they exist throughout the publication to highlight many aspects of the difficulties facing such an undertaking as UAS integration in NAS.
Yahoo Finance (http://finance.yahoo.com/) has a myriad of data tables to highlight financial information on its main page. An example of more tables on Textron can be seen here, where they display interactive charts to view company performance. They effectively display trends and data that investors need to analyze companies.

3 (4 actually) Sites with Examples of Nice Resumes
There are countless resources for resume templates.
My first choice is Linked In. I like this site for the ease of adjusting details in your experience. It is a clean template, and can be easily shared online. The added benefit of the networking aspects of the site are arguably helpful. The downside is it can be difficult to adjust the resume to specific purposes, and in past experiences found I could not display my phone number (I am sure there is a fix for that however)
Google Docs has resume templates as well, which is helpful in that Google Docs is a great place to store a resume for ease of access and security. I store my secondary resume here, and if I changed format I would likely use this site for a template.
Office.com or Office 365 have a myriad of options, and these would be my third choice. However, if I understand the assignment correctly, this is a previously mentioned site, so I will move on.
Instant Resume Templates has a number of options organized into different categories. I looks fairly straight forward to use.
All in all, there are so many examples that come with Office I would think most people need not look elsewhere.

4 Software Programs I Use Most Often
As someone who uses computers quite regularly, I have a lot of software installed on my computer. Having said that, I'll try and narrow down my most commonly used programs.
Without a doubt, Mozilla Firefox gets used the most. This particular browser I use to check email, school work on Black Board, to browse media and entertainment sites such as youtube and netflix, research information, share files, and pay bills.
It's tough to say after that what I use most often. Until somewhat recently, Windows Live mail got used a great deal, however I stopped using the program as much in favor of using my phone and tablet to manage most of my email unless I have an elaborate email to type. Even then, I'll often use Firefox instead to log into my accounts.
When I'm busy in school, Microsoft Word 2013 gets used regularly to write papers, even if the project can be typed and submitted online; I like the save functions and knowing the word count.
I use WinRAR often, as many of the files I download are zipped.
