Is your resume visually attractive?
Before you send that resume out – stand back and take a good look at it. Busy resumes crammed with information give people a headache and can overwhelm the reader. Yours could be a sight for sore eyes! Here are some tricks:
• Use white space – and lots of it. It’s visually appealing to have one-inch margins, and clear visual breaks between sections.
• Stick to one font. Bold or italics are fine – but don’t overdo it - and avoid underlining all together.
• Bullet points are like magic. They make it much easier for the reader to scan your resume and find your key points.
The same goes for your cover letter. Clean and brief is best – white paper, black ink. Cover letters and resumes shouldn’t be folded – use a full size envelope.
