Season 2: Career Foundations
Formatting Your Résumé Matters (S2 – Ep7/20)
Over the years, the standard and expectation for formatting a resume has changed depending on the needs of the time. Currently, we are in a time where the majority of hiring is done online with AI systems and algorithms reading your resume and matching it with a job description.
This episode is going to be about formatting your resume. Yes, it matters, even if you have experience. These are not tips that you need to visualize on a sample to implement. They are simple, but impactful.
The 5 tips I’m going to cover are formatting tips for a human. Some will also apply to application tracking systems.
Tip #1 – Don’t write paragraphs of information
TIP #2 – Font choice matters – for some.
Tip #3 – The order of information on your resume is important
Tip #4 – Use Margins to your advantage.
Tip #5 – Font Size matters
At the end of the episode, I give an ATS Bonus tip AND a double bonus tip for formatting your resume for humans or ATS.

You actually make it seem really easy together with
your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something which I think I might by no means understand.
It kind of feels too complicated and extremely vast for me.
I’m looking forward for your next submit, I will attempt to get the hold of it!
