#1 Make sure it is easy to read and important information can be found at a glance.
I cant tell you how many resumes I have put in the "stack that isn't going to get a second look" because the layout of the resume was so crappy.
Some things I have seen on recent resumes:
- No callback number
- scratch-outs and lines through words
- terrible spelling and grammer (about 25% of all resumes)
- hand written
Granted that the last position I hired for was an $11/hour job, the above things are in-excusable.
Please, just make it easy to read / comprehend.
