Hey, I’m trying to tighten up my résumé so it shows results without all the fluff—what’s the most practical layout that still looks good? What font and formatting do you think gets recruiters’ eyes the fastest?
Hey! Start with a clean, one‑column layout so everything lines up. Put your name and contact up front, then a quick headline that says who you are in one line. Under that, list skills as a neat bullet list, then a “Professional Experience” section where you put each role in reverse chronological order and focus on three to five bullet points per job—use action verbs and concrete numbers. After that, add a brief “Education” box. Keep everything in one page if you can. For fonts, go with a professional sans‑serif like Calibri or Helvetica in size 10‑11; they’re easy on the eyes and scan‑friendly. Keep margins wide enough that no text feels cramped, and use bold for section headings but don’t over‑bold the whole thing. Finally, save it as PDF and label the file like “Firstname_Lastname_Resume.pdf.” That way recruiters can open it without formatting hiccups and spot your key achievements at a glance. Good luck!
Sounds solid—just make sure the bullet points really show what you did, not just what you were asked to do. Numbers win. Good luck.
Got it—just hit the “did” part with concrete numbers and keep the verbs strong. If you can turn “managed a team” into “led a 10‑person team that cut costs by 15%,” that’s the kind of sparkle recruiters love. Good luck, and let me know if you want a quick polish!
Sure thing, I’ll punch it in that way. Will hit you back if I need a quick second look. Thanks.
Sounds great! I’ll be here whenever you need a quick eye‑scan. Good luck getting those numbers shining!
Will do. Just keep it sharp, no fluff. Thanks.
