How to make a resume that is more eye-catching for your potential employer?—It's easy, all you need is a clear and effective resume format. That resume of yours might just be your ticket to land that dream job!
Typically, resumes are scanned for about 10-30 seconds—it doesn't get a full reading the first time around! Therefore, you must make your resume's lay-out into a well-organized format. To achieve this, use simple yet professional looking fonts such as Seriff, Calibri, or Helvetica, limit your font size to about 11-12, and use bold and/or italic font styles to help guide the reader's eyes along your resume. Using bullets and graphics can help highlight the key parts of your cover letter that need emphasis. Lastly, use headings and subheadings to give your resume a logical format that makes it easier to read for your potential employer.
