Begin immediately drafting information that you can imagine using in your r sum . Think about the jobs you have had and the duties you have performed. Write down details of both and include specifics on volunteer work, special projects, and special skills you have. After your content is strong, work on the design. Effective design makes your r sum easy to read.
Effective design is attractive and personalized without being cramped or tacky.
The typeface should be easy to read and attractive but dignified. Your r sum should look professional, reflect your professional personality, and be suited to your job field and the types of skills you're presenting. Likewise, the paper should suit both your job field and your personality and be an appropriate weight, color, weave, pattern, etc. Use the same paper for your job application letter. Remember that when you mail in a r sum , a matching envelope is used.
