No Matter What Your Profession Is, Keeping Your Resume Simple and Easy To Read ALWAYS Pays OFF
Bright colored backgrounds, cute fonts, animated gifs, there are many ways that you can glitz up your resume in an attempt to catch that recruiter's attention. Innumerable online resume templates and writing services try different tactics to make your resume just that little bit more visually interesting.
Anything to separate you from the others, right? Any step ahead in noticeability puts you that much closer to being 'discovered' and getting that new job, right??
WRONG.
This mistaken belief relies upon a devastatingly incorrect premise. That glam, or at the very least a varied format, will make you stand out in the eyes of a recruiter.
It will...but not in the way yo...more

This is excellent advice! As someone who recently reviewed resume's as our office was expanding and we had two new positions available, I found I was really 'turned off' when people used colored paper or too many different types of fonts. It was confusing and annoying! I suggest applying David's rules - they will definitely increase your chances of getting called for an interview. Good luck!
