NO typos84% of executives surveyed by Office Team, a staffing service company, say that a single typographical error on a resume will disqualify a job candidate from consideration

universally known and understood Set margins from .70 – 1.00 inch

Do not use a resume template Typically, one page for new graduates, two pages for
education majors Once you’ve been in the working world for a number
of years, you can include additional pages to resume Print or copy on conservative paper, 20 - 24 lb. Print on one side of the page only No staples or paperclips

Your resume is a career marketing tool, not an autobiography
Keep your resume concise and focused on your key selling points
Let go of past experiences that don't market you for your current goal
You should also leave something to talk about in the interview
