Word Processing Issues
Microsoft Word has become a global standard. This being the case, it has to look at least as good, if not better, than those of others in your industry. Your most important choice will be your font.
Serif versus Sans Serif Fonts
Times New Roman is the most popular font for resumes. It is a serifed font. These cause the reader to slow down and pay attention compared to a sans serif font, which is good for webpages because the information can be scanned quickly.
Bulleted Points
Bullets also help hiring managers scan quickly to make sure you are a good fit.
