An attractively formatted resume catches the eye. Some simple rules to follow:

☛ Use left margin justification i.e. keep all text in the main body left-aligned.

☛ Use single line spacing between the lines.

☛ Use straight lines to break sections and also to give an outline to the resume, if you wish to.

☛ Simple bullet points under each category head give a neat format.

☛ For a hard copy print on plain white or cream paper.

☛ A resume should ideally be two pages in length, and a cover letter strictly one page.
