How to create a modern & attractive résumé…
Here are 6 design elements to guarantee a great résumé.
#1 Select a modern front such as – calibri – lato – corbel – candara.
#2 Select the correct font size 10.5 – 11 pt font size generally works well.
#3 Remove old style formatting. Remove underlining & shading. Limit upper case & italics. Avoid headings in boxes.
#4 Review the use of colours. Think carefully about colour choices. Black & white is safer, especially when printing.
#5 Space the content logically. Make sure the reader can clearly understand where your information belongs.
#6 Establish a hierarchy with headings. Each heading size needs to make sense.
Check in on your résumé’s appearance every few years and update if necessary.
