MECHANICS-easy to read, 1 to 1-1/2 pages, correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Eliminate unnecessary words and phrases.
USE MARGINS CORRECTLY-resume should be balanced, centered from top to bottom, as well as left to right.
REVIEW-proofread your resume and then have someone check it over before submitting it to the employer.
PAPER-use heavy stock standard size (8 &amp;#38;#189;" x 11") resume paper of good quality (white, cream or light gray color). Be sure reproduction is of high quality - photocopies should have no fading, streaking, scratched-out spots, or correction fluid.
