If you are faxing your resume, make sure the copy you are faxing is on WHITE. It should be plain white with no texture or background. If you are taking your resume to an interview or mailing it so that the hiring manager will be viewing your print and not a facsimile, go to Kinko's with your resume on disk in MS Word. They have a plethora of choices suitable for resumes. From these, you should choose one a. that you like and b. that seems appropriate for the company: eg. You might use Sea Spray (a blueish shade) if you are applying for a position at an aquarium.
You should use a good quality heavyweight bond paper with a a watermark, or even a nice vellum paper. It should be brilliant white, not goldenrod or pastel pink, nor should it have a grapevine border or little hearts over the i. Use 10 point Ariel typeface.
a normal 8.5 X 11 will do, it doesn't matter if you have to staple it if it doesn't all fit on one piece of paper. To make it look even better put a border on it and it will come together very nice :)
resume paper. same paper used for your resume, you use for your cover letter.
Always use the normal business size paper of the organization where you will send your resume. If you are in the United States, use 8 1/2 x 11 paper.
A4 is the usual size
NO DO NOT USE PAPER CLIPS ON A RESUME Paper the interviewer will not even look at it staple it
I always try to use higher quality paper when using for a resume, It looks better than standard paper and can help you stand out from others. Paper type has nothing to do with getting hired or not, You can use standard paper if you want to, But if you have high quality use it if you can.
No, never! Use a paper clip instead
Size 12 font if you want space to write since its a smaller font. 14 font if you want to look professional. 18 font if you don't have a lot to write. (18 font is kind of big but its your choice)
If you are submitting a resume in paper format, it will generally be done at the point of the interview. If you have a 2-page resume, it is best to staple the document in the left hand corner to ensure that the pages remain together. You should also have your name and contact information at the top of the second page.
There is no adhesive in toilet paper.
Those with limited job experience can use a functional resume, which focuses on what you know and have accomplished rather than positions held.
the best is actually paper mache?? :)
You can use a special kind of paper
Parchment paper.
If gluing paper to paper, white glue is best.
