Make a neat resume where all of the headings follow the same format. Neat and organized resumes are easier for employers to read to locate information.
Use bullets underneath each heading or each job experience to organize your descriptions of skills, job duties and other information given. Be consistent in your capitalization and punctuation--if you phrase the lists as complete sentences, use end punctuation.
Have your resume professionally printed on high-quality resume paper. The good impression you will make on your potential employer is worth it!
