Tip of the day: Create an effective and comprehensive resume design to grab the attention of your potential employer.
To create a good or even perfect resume, create a lay out that is clear and comprehensive. Since most resumes are typically scanned for 10-30 seconds, it's important that you present all the pertinent information in a well-organized manner. To achieve this, choose professional looking fonts such as Seriff or Sans Seriff, select a font size only between 11 and 12, and selectively apply bold and/or italic font styles to help guide the reader's eyes. Bullets will give emphasis on key phrases of your resume (e.g. achievements) And the use of wide-margins, headings, and subheadings will give your resume a logical format that is easier to follow.
