How to get the perfect (looking) résumé / CV

(1/2) > >>

After avoiding the 7 deadly sins of résumé design,
you may be asking, “If I can’t use crazy colors, clip art, and other types of decoration, how do I make my résumé stand out from the crowd?”
Like many things, the answer lies in the details.

Even if you can’t hire a fancy designer and are stuck with Microsoft Word,
a few tweaks can turn your blasé résumé into an elegant and functional showpiece.

Pretty nice step-by-step guide helping you with getting the layout of your future right (pun intended).
Everyone has to write some of these in his/her life time, so check this page out!

There are enough pages on the net already covering what has to be part of a CV, content wise,
but it's hard to find something dealing with the layout part which I'd say is a very important part.
After all it's what makes the HR person take a second look at it (hopefully).
