How To Write An Attractive Resume

1. Use Important Keywords

Take a look at the description and requirements of the job that you are applying for. Use any important keywords in the job description that you feel apply and correlate to your ability.

2. Stay within One or Two Pages

Try to stay within one or two pages when you are writing your resume. One or two page resume keeps things simple and makes your resume easy to process.

3. Proofread and Edit

Always proofread and edit your resume before you send it out to a potential employer. Read over your resume for any spelling or grammar mistakes and make sure that dates and names on your resume are correct and true to your work history. You may also ask a friend or family member to proofread and edit your resume.

4. List Things in a Chronological and Organized Way

Most people write their resumes in chronological order, with their most recent work history at the top of the page.

5. Align Margins

Appearance is everything when it comes to resumes. If your margins are not aligned, the eye catches this error instantly. Make sure that your margins are aligned.

6. Keep the Formatting Consistent

Keep things consistent throughout your resume. For example, if you have chosen to use bullet points instead of dashes to create a list on your resume, use bullet points for the rest of your resume. Paying attention to small details like this suggests that you are detail-oriented.

7. Choose an Easy-to-Read Font

Make sure to use an easy-to-read font when you are creating your resume. Ask a friend to read your resume over before you send it out. If they have trouble reading your resume, this is a clear indication that you should change the font.

8. Legible Font Size

Liberty Staffing suggests maintaining a font size of twelve. For headings on your resume, choose a font that is slightly larger than size twelve and underline or bold the letters.

9. Alter Your Resume for Different Job Opportunities

Every job is different, and your resume should reflect that. Altering or tweaking your resume for different employment opportunities will increase your chances of landing the job.

10. Stick with the Facts
