GUIDE FOR RESUME WRITING.
There is no absolute rule as of what
a resume must look like, how many page it may consist
of, etc. We believe that different type of careers may
call for different type of layout in the resume since
one may wish to project an image suitable to a specific
career path. For example, someone pursuing a career in
a legal field will probably want to project an image of
reliability, analytical, sophistication in language skills,
and sharp mind. In contrast, someone pursuing a career
in fashion design will need to express a high degree of
creativity. This goes far beyond the simple choice of
words the character you want to convey will determine
the choice of fonts, and general layout of your resume.
The type of presentation and layout given
as examples are based on the feedback we received from
a large number of company recruiters -the very same people
who look at those resumes and decide which ones are worth
retaining and which ones go in the "round file" (trash
can).
Don't brag, let your background speak
for itself by sticking to the facts. Make clear and to
the point statements.
Avoid vague phrases and generalities.
Don't mention unrelated matters such as: marital status,
your blood type, your ability to drive a car, your astrological
sign, how many countries you traveled to, etc.
Use one kind of font throughout your
resume. Chose a font that is easy to read, such as: Times
New Roman, Times, Arial, Book Antiqua, Helvetica, Bell
MT, or Garamond. Use no more than 2 font sizes, and use
the larger on sparingly. Use an 11-point font for the
general text and a 14-point font for the titles. Leave
plenty of white space and center or align text so that
it looks balanced on the page. Bold, italicize,
underline and s p a c e in a consistent way throughout
your resume.
