How do you grab the attention of a potential employer? Simple – it’s by having a comprehensive and effective resume. Your resume can be your ticket to land your dream job!
A key factor in writing your resume is the lay out or the overall look of it. Usually, a resume is scanned for 25 seconds – it doesn’t get a full reading the first time! Therefore, it must be easy to read with the information organized well. To achieve this, use simple yet professional-looking fonts (e.g. Serif fonts) and apply bold and/or italic font style to guide a reader’s eye in reading the resume. Utilize bullets or shapes to give emphasis on important points. And finally, make the resume readable by following a logical format with wide margins, headings and sub-headings.
