Your resume should be impressive in all respect such as content, compactness, precision and presentation. Presentation has become the most important feature of any industry and the same applies to resume writing. Look of your resume is sometimes more important than its content. Continuing with it, layout of resume carries a lot of importance as it should appeal at a first glance and it should be easy to read and understand too.
Tips to Layout the Eye-catching Resume
• Very first heading of your resume explains about your personal information i.e. name, contact details and address. Always see to it that your name stands out proper. While selecting the font to write numerals, select well spaced font that could be easily readable
• Maintain the consistency in headings you use to write various sections of the resume. By consistency I mean to say font size, style, weight (bold/un-bold), underline effect etc.
• Do not use more than one font in your resume. Select simple and impressive font. Fancy fonts are not suited for all the professions. If you are a drawing artist, painter etc. cursive or fancy font is advisable. Otherwise avoid the fancy fonts
You can layout resume in various ways. Refer the sample resume layouts available and design the layout of your resume accordingly.
The resume is most of the times left aligned. The titles are underlined and the description is written in the form of bullets and small paragraphs. You can design layout of the resume in two columns too. You can use two colors and simple but impressive font for the same. Remember you should not use bright and fancy colors. The recommended colors are shades of black. You can use the combination such as jet black for the heading/title and dark grey for the write up. You can find the best suited color combinations on free resume samples available.
This is one of the representative formats I talked about regarding resume layout. You can refer the sample resumes available and add your own creativity to it.
