A resume is a self-advertisement that, when done properly, shows how your skills, experience, and achievements match the requirements of the job you want. This guide provides three free samples on which you can base your resumé. It will also walk you through setting up and laying out the content to highlight your skills and grab the reader’s attention.

Formatting Your Resume

Format your text.

The first thing that a possible employer will see on your resume is the text. For that reason, it is very important that you make the right first impression. Choose a professional font in size 11 or 12. Times New Roman is the classic serif font, while Arial and Calibri are two of the better choices for sans-serif. Even though sans serif fonts are more popular for resume, Yahoo cites Helvetica as the best font to use for your resumé.
• Many individuals find that Times New Roman is a little hard to read on a screen. If you are emailing your resume, consider using Georgia instead for a more readable serif font.
• You can use multiple fonts for different parts of your resume, but try to limit it to two. Instead of changing between fonts, try emboldening or italicizing specific selections of text instead.
• The font size for your header and the introduction to a section may 14 or 16, but otherwise, you should choose 11 or 12.
• Your text should always be printed in solid black ink. Make sure to deactivate any hyperlinks (like to your email, address, and phone number) so that they don’t print in blue or another non-black color.

Set up the page.

Your page should have one-inch margins all the way around with 1.5 or 2 points line spacing. The body of your resume will be aligned to the left and your header should be centered at the top of your page.
