keep your "hiring manager" or recruiter in mind.

Pretend your the recruiter and you have a big stack of resumes on your desk.

a) do you read through ALL of them
b) do you read the ones that take up 5 pages
c) do you like the ones that have small font size
d) do you read the ones that have SOOOO much text on them

the answer is e) none of the above

1) make yours different, YET professional
2) short, simple, to the point, YET effective
3) each line should help convince the reader to read the next line

the first time you lost their interest... they stop reading


good luck
