Resume Components

There are two basic components to a resume. The first one is CONTENT. The second one is DESIGN.

Both elements are critical in determining the success of the resume.
What does the design component consist of? Quite a few aspects of the resume fall into this category.

Here are some for you to peruse:
type and color of paper
format
layout within the format
font(s) used
white space

Determining the design your resume can contribute a great deal to the impact you make to prospective employers. A resume must not only contain the right words and qualifications, but it must be easy to read.

When a pile of resumes are first taken out of their envelopes, the process of making a first impression begins. You can’t take a chance of being ruled out at any stage of the process, so your materials must be superior.

Do you know what your competitors are doing? If not, then you need to ensure you are doing everything possible to give yourself an advantage over them. Keep in mind that they could just as easily be reading the same information you are right now. How are you going to out-perform them?

You are going to ensure that each design component is outstanding!
