1-Use a professional email address.

The use of an unprofessional email address will get you rejected 76% of the time. So, if you haven’t already done so, ditch that email address you’ve been using since high school. Choose a professional email provider like Gmail or Outlook for creating a professional alternative. Use your name. 

2-Set your font size to 10-12 points.

While choosing a font is important, making sure that it is the right size is paramount. Keep your resume font size between 10-12 points so that a hiring manager can easily read it without squinting.

3-Use reverse-chronological order.

That means starting from your most recent job and work your way back. For your experience section, put your current job first. For your education section, put your highest degree first.

4-Align your content to the left to make it skimmable.

The first thing a hiring manager is going to do is skim your resume for relevant keywords from the job description. Aligning your text to the left makes this easier for them to do. 

5-Make strategic use of bold, caps, and italics.

Be consistent with your choices. If you’ve made one of your subheadings bold - make them all bold. Try not to overuse anything. The point is to make important information easier to find. 

6-Give your sections simple subheadings.

Regardless of what layout you choose, make sure your resume sections are visible and easy to find. 

7-Consider using a professionally designed template.

Resume templates can save you a lot of time and effort. Imagine not having to fool around with margins in Word. Pick a modern resume template out, and you’re ready to go.
