How can you make a resume that is attractive to your potential employer? That's easy—it all boils down to its overall layout. A resume with a comprehensive and effective format is sure to increase your chances of getting that dream job!
Most resumes are scanned for about 10-30 seconds—it doesn't get a full reading the first time around! Therefore, you must present all the information in your cover letter in a well-organized manner. To achieve this, use professional looking fonts such as Calibri or Helvetica, your font size should be between 11-12, and use italic and/or bold font styles to help guide the reader's eyes along your resume. Using bullets and graphics can greatly highlight all the key parts of your resume that need emphasis. Lastly, using headings and subheadings can give your resume a logical format that makes it easier to read for your potential employer.
