A resume should give a summary of your qualifications. One page for a recent college graduate, if properly done, is very sufficient. Two pages are acceptable for those with significant job experience. Just one error on your resume could cause you to miss an interview opportunity. Be stylish if you want, but be sure it is professional looking.
Print resumes on white or light colored paper.
They fax better and can be scanned into our computer system. Keep the font size in the 12-14 point range for most text. Your resume should be easy to read and graphically easy to follow. Concise and correct is always your best course of action. Your objective says a lot about you.
