Professional Resume Design

This is a no-brainer: white or off-white paper. Never use colored papers. Never use ‘fancy’ fonts – leave those decisions to professional graphic designers, like those at Professional Resume Design. When in doubt it’s much better to have a well-written, descriptive, unified resume document printed on standard white paper, using Times New Roman font with a standard resume format. Case closed.

And one more thing – never ever use a ‘graphic element’ (such as color, art, a logo etc) unless you have a graphic designer working with you on the resume. It’s very easy to pull a piece of clip art from a program such as Microsoft Word, but this is a bad idea for people who aren’t trained in graphic design.
