COMPREHENSION Read the article
A resume that is appealing to the eye is important to landing an interview and then a job. To
write a neat, well-written resume decide on the content to include, write your resume with a
professional tone that highlights your experience, and add some creative flair to help it stand out.
Resumes usually list your job titles followed by explanations of your tasks. You can use short
paragraphs or bullet points to explain experience, but you should keep the method you use
consistent throughout. If you explain your duties for one job in paragraph form, all your job duties
should be listed that way. Certain parts of a resume will be in bold or italics to draw attention to a
job title, school, or work place. Make sure any choices you make about highlighting words are
consistent. For example, say you choose to list one of your jobs like this: Server, Emma's Grill. For
the remainder of your resume, you should have your job titles in bold and the name of your
workplaces in italics. Font size and spacing should also be unified throughout. For example, you
can always use size 12 font to list a job title, and size 10 for your place of work and job
descriptions.
