Hello again, job seekers!
Welcome back to resume tips presented by Brooke County Libraries. This month's tip is #14.
Keep Simple Formatting
You want the highlights to your resume to be front and center, as we have advised previously. Today's resume templates have boxes and sections EVERYWHERE. Be mindful that prospective employers like to simply read down through a single page.
Consider just using sections that flow top to bottom. That makes for easy reading. And you ensure a future manager doesn't miss your certification because it was off in a side tab. Remember your work history should always be front and center or your education as it pertains to your experience.
Don't get caught up in fancy-looking templates. Being eye-catching is great. But employers will always value content over presentation.
Thank you as always! Remember your local library is a great place for help with your job search.
