If for some reason, you cannot provide one, address the situation in your cover letter and make arrangements for when you will get the information to them. If an element is missing, chances are that your resume will not get processed. The best resumes squeeze important information onto one page. Even if you've had several jobs that seem relevant to the position, you should highlight and summarize only the most impressive and most recent. The resumes chosen will be the ones that are easiest to read and emphasis the sought after skills.
Quality is one of the most important aspects of a resume.
If you use high-quality paper, your resume will stand out without having to use fancy colors. Avoid colors other than white or off-white. Your writing and your organization should distinguish your resume, not the powder blue stationery with clouds on it. Avoid graphics and funky typefaces Use either Helvetica or Times Roman. Many resumes are electronically scanned and many scanners may not be able to decipher Italics and bold typefaces.
