• Maintaining a simple 12 pt font that is easy to read • Don't overuse text formatting, not every skill, qualification, or job requires being bolded or italicized • Don't add
decorations to your pages, the resume format is
functional not for
decoration • Maintain clear wide margins on all sides of the page so that it looks clean • Keep clear space between sections rather
than trying to cram as much on the paper as you can, clear space draws the eye and shows where information can be found
