Create a clear and comprehensive resume format that effectively presents all your qualifications!
Even if your resume is very-well written, it won't get a thorough reading the first time through. Generally a resume gets scanned for 10-30 seconds. Scanning is more difficult if it is hard to read, poorly organized or exceeds two pages. Therefore, you must present all the information in a well-organized manner. To achieve this, choose a professional looking font such as Seriff or Sans Seriff, limit your font size between 11 and 12. Selectively apply bold and italic font styles that help guide the reader's eye throughout your resume. Use bullets to call attention to important points such as your skills and educations. Lastly, give your resume a logical format by using wide margins, headings, and subheadings.
