Key points to pay attention to

  • Make sure your resume uses a lisible font with good color contrast
  • Pay really close attention to spell-checking and proof-reading of your resume
  • When describing yourself, use your first name, then your last name
  • Use a minimal and clean layout, avoid having elements taking too much space on the page
  • A resume should ideally not be longer than one page, but it can extend to two for including a long list of past experience
  • Prefer using icons for describing some items rather than words (for instance a phone icon next to your phone number)
  • Always put your name and contact details at the top of the page
