Series 11 - Winning Resume Formats
Feb 6th, 2008 by emgra
Be Employer Focused - An alternative to resume objectives might be the ‘Qualifications Summary’ section. This is a section where you can briefly discuss your skills and how you intend to use them.
There is also the danger that your resume may appear to be canned and therefore give employers the wrong impression about you.
Fonts -Stick to safe fonts such as Ariel, Helvetica or Courier. Use a font size anywhere between 10 to 14 points and refrain from bolding, underlining or italicizing any text.
First you have to decide on a particular format for your resume. The two main formats in use today are chronological and functional format. Which one is best to use will depend greatly on your situation.
