PSB Resume Guide: Format

• use font size 11 -12 in standard fonts for your resume content; it can be a little larger for headings and subheadings
• headlines should be bolded
• use only one type of bullet
• use a maximum of two different fonts
• check that alignment is consistent
• use white space between sections
• do not exceed two pages
• if you have a two page resume, make sure the second page includes your name, email address, phone number and page number

• be honest and accurate – your resume is a legal document
• put the most important information in the top half of the first page
• use bullet points and not paragraphs
• create a “reader friendly” document which features adequate white space

It takes time to write a good resume. Write, review and revise each section until you have a compelling,winning resume which will help you to stand out!
