How can you make your resume attract the eyes of your potential employer?—That's simple, it's by having a comprehensive and effective resume format. Your resume can make the difference between you getting the job or not.
So it’s important to have a clear and concise format that can perfectly showcase all your qualifications in an easily understandable manner. To achieve this, use professional looking fonts (e.g. Seriff or Sans Seriff) and limit your font size between 11-12. Use italic and/or bold font styles to help guide your potential employer's eyes in reading your resume. The use of graphics and symbols can help highlight points in your cover letter that need to be emphasized. Lastly, use headings and subheadings to give your resume a logical format that makes it easier to read.
