SUCCESSFUL RESUME DESIGN WILL YOUR CURRENT RESUME GET YOU PAST THE FIRST CHALLENGE WHEN APPLYING FOR A JOB? Did you know that the time commonly estimated that recruiters and employers will spend reviewing your resume is 6-8 seconds. This can sound so deflating when you have spent countless hours tweaking and producing what you feel is sure to get you that next position. Let's look at what can make your resume get noticed and less likely to be rejected. THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF TEXT Make sure your resume is not intimidating and overwhelming with a wall of text. There needs to be white space to increase the impact of your words and to help with navigation. Eye tracking studies by the Nielson Norman Group in 2006 found that people scan content using an F–shaped pattern of scanning. The F’ shaped layout mimics our natural pattern of reading with our eyes trained to start at the top-left corner and then scan horizontally. We then drop down to the next line doing the same until we find something that catches our attention. In the images below of eye tracking by the Nielson Norman Group, red shows where readers mostly looked, yellow fewer views, blue least viewed and grey areas with no viewing at all. For readers who are updating and currently writing their resume, good luck and I hope these tips are useful. If you are a spouse or partner of a Defence member you are likely to be eligible to access up to $1,500 worth of careers counselling and employment assistance through the DMFS Partner Employment Assistance Program (PEAP).

If you would like to access my professional careers services through PEAP with no upfront costs, please feel free to email me prueatcareers@gmail.com. CHOOSE A STANDARD FONT When choosing a font for your resume, standard fonts of 11-12pt are recommended. Examples include: Calibra, Arial, Helvetica, Cambria, Verdana, Georgia. These fonts make for easy reading and ensure that the alignment of your resume will be the same on the recruiter’s computer, as the standard font will be installed. It will also allow for computer based Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to be able to read your resume. FINALLY, WHAT NOT TO INCLUDE There are a few things that you should not include in your resume design such as: graphics, logos, tables, text boxes, a photo of yourself, headers/footers. These items have the potential to interfere with Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) and these computer programs will be unable to read your resume.
