How to format a resume?
- Set one-inch margins on all four sides.
- Pick a 11 or 12pt resume font and stick to it.
- Create a proper resume header format for your contact details.
- Divide your resume into legible resume sections: Contact Information, Resume Summary, Work Experience, Education, Skills.
- Use bullet points to talk about past jobs.
- Be consistent with your resume formatting (e.g., stick to the same date format: for example 11–2018, or November 2018.)
- Use single or 1.15 line spacing.
- Add an extra space before and after each section heading.
- Make your resume as long as it needs to be. {1 page is adequate for high school & college students}
- Don’t use photos on your resume. Unless the job description specifically asks for them. You’re looking for a job, not a date!
