How to make a resume that is effective and eye-catching? Just follow the simple tips below, and that resume of yours will surely land you that dream job! One key factor in making a good or even perfect resume is how well its lay-out and over-all structure is done. Typically, in-coming resumes are scanned for about 10-30 seconds, so it's important that all your qualifications are presented in a well-organized format. To achieve this, use simple yet professional looking fonts such as Helvetica, Calibri, or Seriff fonts, limit your font sized to 11-12, and use italic and/or bold font styles to help guide your potential employer's eyes along your resume. The use of shapes and graphics can help highlight the essential parts of your cover letter, and the use of headings and subheadings can give it a logical format that be easily followed by the reader.
