A green CV; print in moderation

Just how can you grab the attention of your potential employer? That's easy—its by having a comprehensive and effective resume format. Your resume may just be your ticket to that dream job of yours! A key factors in making a resume that is good or even perfect is how well its lay-out and over-all look is made. In-coming resumes are typically scanned for about 20 or so seconds—it doesn't get a full read through the first time! So it's important that your resume is easy to read with all its information organized well. To create such a resume format, use professional looking fonts like Helvetica or Calibri, your font size should be between 11-12 and use italic and/or bold font styles to help guide your potential employer's eyes in reading your CV. Lastly, the use of graphics and symbols can highlight all the key parts of your resume that need to be emphasized.
