Resumes must be typed or printed. If a computer printer is used, the ribbon or tape should be new so the print is sharp and dark. Avoid the use of colored or parchment paper. Generally, a one-page resume is preferred. However, if you have a lengthy history of employment, honors, education, etc., additional pages may be used.
Misspelled words are unacceptable.
Allow ample white space in a neatly blocked pattern. Your resume should focus the reader's eye to certain key points, such as Education, Employment History, Honors, Accomplishments, and so forth. You can move the reader's eye to certain points by use of capitals, underlining, indentation, and bold print. Your resume should be written in brief phrases rather than in the narrative style.
