The quality of a resume input on your computer and printed on your laser printer should be excellent, perhaps as good as one typeset by a professional and reproduced at a nearby printer. Be aware that the typed copy on your laser-printed or photocopied resume can crack along the crease if you fold it, so mail them flat in a 9 x12 envelope. If you transmit your resume by using a FAX card in your personal computer, make sure you see what you transmit. Also, the format of the received resume is often different from what you think you are transmitting. In choosing a typeface, stay away from script or fancy fonts.
Letters tend to fill-in or touch with the smaller type sizes.
Be aware that if your margins are too narrow and you fax your resume, a receiving fax machine will quite often reduce the size of print on the entire page in an effort to not lose any print close to the edge of the printed page. The dots per inch should be at least 300. Try to use standard characters, such as a dash, asterisk or round bullet in place of boxes, arrows, ellipses, or other unusual configurations. Include both a permanent contact and present address and phone number. Be brief, complete and include buzzwords.
