What truly makes any resume more appealing is how clean it looks to the eyes of the reader. The font size must be just the right size, spacing and formatting should be executed well in order to seperate important information, and of course it must be short but well detailed.
Choose a font size between 11 and 12. Most job seekers are tempten in keeping their fonts size small, since it lets them pack more information into a single page. But instead of using smaller font, try to use more effecient words that can convey the message you want to reach to your employer. Select tight, specific verbs and get rid of unecessary adverbs and adjectives. Just keep the information relevant to your core argument. (e.g. why they should hire you, what are your qualifications)
