Although
key and central, "substance" is only one aspect of
writing a good resume. The other side of it is how
to structure your resume and how to present the
information to have the most impact possible
(effective resume layout).
Following are simple things you can do:
- Use titles and headings.
- Organize the information on your resume to draw
attention to your strengths.
- Choose the right font(s) and the right font sizes.
- Structure your resume so that it is easy to read
(the recruiter has to be able to skim through your
resume in 30 seconds and know what your candidacy is
about).
- Be consistent in terms of how you present the
information on your resume.
- Once you are done drafting your resume, ask
yourself if your resume is visually appealing.
- Remember that an effective resume layout is
necessary to highlight your qualifications, as
opposed to being an end in itself (in that regard,
you don't need a "nice" resume layout as much as you
need an "effective" resume layout).
- Print your resume using a laser printer.
The
above simple recommendations can dramatically
improve the layout of your resume. You can also
look at our extensive list of
professionally written
resume samples to see what layout or
layouts you like the
most. Inspire yourself from the pros!
Again,
the old adage "it's not what you say, but how you
say it" also applies in resume writing.
