Mastering the Art of Resume Presentation

A stylish and legible resume will impress recruiters and make you stand out from the crowd. Be consistent with your formatting, writing style and spacing to give your resume a smart, professional look. Here are a few tips to help you create an attractive, easy-to-read document:

• Use one or two common fonts like Times New Roman, Arial or Garamond.

• Stick to 10–12 point font size for main text, slightly larger font for headings.

• Keep your resume uncluttered — use plenty of white space.

• Use bullet points to list responsibilities and achievements.

• Choose a simple layout that’s easy to read.

• Be consistent — don’t mix fonts, headings sizes and so on.
