Show Notes

Put yourself in the shoes of a hiring manager. Two resumes are in front of you; both are possible candidates for the open position. The first is littered with text, margin to margin, full of inconsistent fonts and format, and very little useful information stands out. The second resume is presented with consistent font and format, short bullets with precise information, and plenty of white space. Which resume would you rather tackle first? Listen in to find out why the appearance of your resume is as important as its content. Topics covered in "Resume Formatting Dos and Donts that Help You Stand Out": - resume writing - resume - executive job search - job search - career change
