Increasing numbers of companies are using advanced technology to aid in their hiring process. Resumes in electronic databases are kept active in the hiring pool longer than a paper copy. Computers make it faster and easier for you to be considered for more jobs, maybe even jobs you didn't think you were qualified for, and it's much easier to update your resume as your skill base grows with experience . Use white 20-60 lb. Print with black ink on one side only.
Laser printing is best, although typewritten originals or high-quality copies are okay.
Dot matrix printouts and low-quality copies should be avoided. Limit yourself to two pages unless you have more experience to document. Do not staple. Pages that are torn do not scan well. Do not fold.
