Design Tips
Employers prefer crisp-looking resumes that get to the point. By using the
example on this page as a template, you’ll improve both the style and
the substance your resume.
•
Layout
Add interest and clarity by using bullets, indents and varying font styles
(such as bold and italic letters). Avoid using unconventional fonts or
adding photos or graphics.
•
Length
The general rule is: one page for early-career (entry level to 5-10 years); two pages for
mid-career candidates.
•
Job Data
Provide the reader with relevant detail about your past and present
employers, such as product information, size and physical location.
•
Measurables
Quantify your job duties, reporting relationships and
achievements with actual numbers.
•
Dates
Make sure the dates are clear and without gaps. If you’re a mid- to
late-career candidate, you can save space by lumping early-career jobs together.
•
Degree Credentials
Please be accurate—and honest. Misrepresenting your degree is unethical, and could
result in consequences that are embarrassing—or worse. |
