What makes a resume more attractive? That's simple—it's by having a comprehensive and effective resume format!
One of the key factors in making a good or even perfect is its over-all structure and look. Most resumes are scanned for just 10-30 seconds—it doesn't get fully read the first time through! Therefore, you must present all the information in a well-organized manner. To achieve this, use simple yet professional looking fonts (e.g. Calibri or Helvetica), choose a font size between 11 and 12, and use italic and/or bold font styles to help guide your reader's eyes along your resume. The use of graphics and symbols can highlight phrases in your resume that need emphasis. Lastly, headings and subheadings can give your resume a logical format that makes it easier to read.
