Ignoring Visual Appeal

It's not uncommon for an employer to receive 100 or more resumes for one position. Make sure your resume looks appealing:

• Choose a readable 10 to 12 point font such as Garamond, Calibri, Cambria, Helvetica, or Georgia.
• Use bullets to draw attention to your accomplishments.
• Leave white space between positions to avoid a cluttered look.
• Highlight headers with a larger or bolder font.
• For a more modern look try different colors, bar charts, or icons: but don’t overdo it.
