Besides setting all margins to 1", the most important criteria for setting up a professional resume besides relevant text, is "scanability." Here are some helpful tips:

1. Place just below your identification header [your hame, address, phone, email address] any Conditional Warning Statement such as "Confidential Resume,"Do Not Contact Current Employer," etc.
2. Always fill-in an Objectives category [just below the Conditional Warning Statement] and make sure that he Objective will contribute to the profitability of your future employer;
3. Select a mono-type font such as Helvetica, Arial, Courier or Times Roman; do not select any cursive handwriting styles which cannot scanned;
4. Keep font sizes within a range of 10 to 12 pts.;
5. Avoid styling text with a justified alignment, keep it flushed left;
6. Instead of using tabs to set up blocked text entries, generate a table and use the column and row settings accordingly;
7. Do not place an i.d. picture anywhere on the resume, this is a major taboo due to discrimination issues;
8. Do not place any graphic text [saved as .gifs] onto the resume since it may be overlooked during the scanning phase;
9. List at the very end of the resume your interests which should include travel experiences, language skills, social interactions such as golf, team sports, tennis, etc.

In conclusion, the above helpful hints were designed to allow ease of scanning of your resume into PDF which can then be text captured for seach purposes by your potential employer. If the original resume was created in Word, WordPerfect or Mac Appleworks, it can be Saved As a PDF file which then can be saved as an email attachment. Otherwise, you can simply use a scanner and scan a hard copy of the resume and then save as a PDF file.

Failure to conform the resume to appropriate fonts and styles as outlined above will result in rejection of the resume simply due to the inability of the scanning device to properly index relevant resume entries.

Good luck!

How do you make a job resume?

We Answered:

There are lots of formats on the web as samples, and a few included in every copy of Microsoft Word. Basically though, for your first resume, I'd tell them the following:

Contact info (name, address phone number email address). DO NOT USE an email address that is cute, naughty, or otherwise controversial. Set up a new one if you must that contains just your first and last name, or something similar.
Skills summary: Include any relevant skills for the job you are applying for. You may have to modify this on different versions, so that employers can see the skills they are looking for. A drugstore doesn't care about your skills at lawnmower maintenance, for example.
Education, including high school and any college/vocational courses.
Volunteer work.
Any employment history - even if it's just casual babysitting, lawn mowing or something like that..

What you do not say: Anything to do with your age, race, relgion, political views, or opinions on social issues. Do not use more than two font faces, multiple sizes, bold, underlining, smiley faces, or other "alternative" formatting.

Spell check everything, and then have someone who's done one before look it over. This person should also be good at spelling and grammar, and more than willing to correct any errors you may have missed. This final step is really important; we all tend to miss our own mistakes, and find those that other people make.

Good luck!
