RESUME PAPER

If you are going to spend the time writing a good resume, then take the time to buy some nice resume paper.

Resume paper is 24-32 pound paper

Color - white or offwhite (ivory, cream, light grey). Please do not use any flashy colors - it is tempting, I have to admit, to use something that makes you stand out, however it is not appropriate. I prefer to use a heavier 32 pound paper with a texture to make my resume stand out.

Margins - at least 1" on the top, bottom, right and left. DO NOT set the margins less than 1".

Font (Letter style) - Arial BOLD 12 point for your name Arial 10 point regular for the body of the resume.
