A resume should be visually interesting with key highlights broken out and other little tools and tricks to make your story stand out. You could include a nice quote or recommendation about you. You could include a short key skills section or other useful information so the reader is interested enough to read the whole thing. More than anything, your personality, passion and goal should shine through! Make the font a readable size and don’t forget to bold things like your name and job titles. No one wants to read a resume that looks like a newspaper.

2-3 page resumes are perfectly fine for a long tenured person! If you've only been in the job market for less than five years, one page is fine. For the longer tenured candidates, if you don't include enough details, recruiters like myself might not know of your accomplishments. Readability is great, but it's the content that counts. If it reads like a vague job description, that doesn't help us assess your quantifiable achievements. If it's TOO long, our eyes glaze over and we might not read it all. Make it short enough to be interesting, and long enough to cover the important parts.

Your resume's readability plays a crucial role in capturing the attention of hiring managers, and incorporating thoughtful design elements can make a significant difference. Using a font size between 10-12 points for body text ensures clarity while maintaining a clean look, and pairing this with slightly larger or bold headers helps guide the reader's eye through key sections like “Experience” and “Skills.” Embracing white space, through line spacing of 1.0-1.15 and margins of at least 0.7 inches, prevents a cluttered appearance and enhances overall readability.

People sometimes think my 1236 page CV is overkill, but honestly, that decision I made to print one massive letter per page was pure genius. I'm just waiting for people to start calling me back for interviews any day now. Size 386 font FTW.
