I usually try to make mine look a little more "modern." I usually follow a few simple rules:
1.) Two or three colors color scheme
2.) Simple vertical alignment
3.) 2 fonts: 1 for headings and one for body text
4.) One or two simple graphics
5.) Don't let it resemble a MS Office template
Here's a slightly dated resume of mine: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58767/zkoch-resume.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/58767/zkoch-resume.pdf
- FPSDavid 15y agoWhat kinda program do you create something like this in, maybe Illustrator?
- Ronkdar 15y agoWord is fine. If you want to get fancy, LaTeX. Just don't distribute a .docx file. Save it as .pdf.
- zkoch 15y agoThis was done in InDesign. You could do it in Word, but it's going to be more difficult. If you're on a Mac I would recommend Pages. I'm not as familiar with Windows, so couldn't really suggest any software there.
