- Be consistent in your layout.
- Devise your own format; one which reflects your strengths, personality and professional attitude, but make sure it is appropriate for the field or organization you are targeting.
- Use one-line phrases to describe your work experience, starting with action words that are easy to understand. Consider "bulleting" each phrase for emphasis.
- Use bold, italics and different font sizes for emphasis. Avoid underlining words and multiple columns if you know your resume will be scanned for reproduction.
- Off-white, ivory or cream-colored paper on nice linen quality, 20 lb. or heavier paper is best, as your resume will stand out from the rest of the paperwork on the recruiter's desk. Keep your documents flat by mailing in a big envelope.
