Typically, resumes are scanned for about 10-30 seconds – it
doesn’t get a full reading the first time through! So it’s important that all
the key information must be seen by your potential employer within just the
short window of time. To get around this dilemma, your resume must be presented
within a well-organized format. Use professional font likes Serif or Sans
Serif, select a font style between 11 and 12, and selectively apply bold/italic
font styles to help guide the reader along tour resume with ease. Make good use
of graphics and bullets to highlight the parts of your resumes that need
emphasis. Lastly, give your resume a logical format by using wide-margins,
headings, and subheadings.
