A brilliant career history can be undone by messy formatting. Recruiters spend seconds on each resume, and clutter makes them move on.
Consistency signals care
Mismatched fonts, dates and bullet styles read as carelessness. Pick one format and apply it rigorously throughout.
White space is your friend
Cramped resumes are exhausting to read. Generous margins and spacing guide the eye to what matters.
Quick tips
- Use one font family throughout
- Align all dates in the same format
- Leave consistent spacing between sections
- Export a final PDF to lock the layout
