-
customize headings if possible (see "Organizing your sections")
-
make sure headings match section content
-
use subsections and subheadings, if necessary (for example,
if you held two jobs at the same place, create a subsection
listing each position beneath)
|
|
using bullets to break up dense prose passages that slow
down the eye and make it difficult for readers to process information
|
|
-
try to limit to 2-5 bullets if possible (6 or more reduces
effectiveness)
-
use descriptive phrases rather than complete sentences (periods,
caps, etc. unnecessary)
-
experiment with other kinds of bullets besides the standard
ones used here
|
|
using indents and line breaks to indicate your organizational
scheme

varying fonts-font choice (Times Roman, Geneva,
Arial, Helvetica, etc.) font size (12 pt., 10 pt., etc.)
and font style (bold, italics, underline, caps, etc.)

-
limit to a couple font choices: one for headings (sans serif
fonts-that is, fonts like this-work
well because they stand out) and one for rest (serif fonts
like this are
a great choice because they are more readable)
-
avoid font sizes much smaller than 9 or 10 pt.
-
avoid over-highlighting by, for example, using caps, boldface,
italics and underline all on the same text
