| #1 FWIW here's my two cents: Quick and to the point for a no-nonsense kinda person, but if you run into someone who is judging you by your visual organization, you should work on getting the white space, columns, indentation, etc. to flow and work with each other across each major section of your resume. It's usually better if you can fit it onto one page, but you may not be able to. Try to have the break between the two pages in a logical place, with the first page having the most important info. Can probably reclaim some of the white space in the header. Perhaps underline each of the four main section titles. Experience section needs white space/visual-organization overhaul. Perhaps say '2007-Present' to help keep years columns in line better. Achievements: Perhaps use bullets instead of indents. Can line bullets up with bold header. For example: Under 'GLC BUSINESS SERVICES' have three bullets, each bullet lined up with the 'G' of 'GLC ...'. Have all text after each bullet line up in a block that starts a couple of spaces after the bullet. This keeps it square and easy on the eyes! Whatever the case, good luck! Oh yeah, it needs a link to RB on it somewhere! That way if you end up getting the job you'll know you'll be surrounded by only the finest of people and the fewest of trolls! :-) |
