Online Resources for Nurses

How you format your resume is as important as the career information and experience within it. You wouldn't come dressed to an interview without carefully choosing your clothes. The same goes for your reusme. Your resume has about 5 seconds to make its first impression.

Use a font size that is easy on the eyes. No smaller than 10 points.
Avoid large fonts. They waste space and may seem comical.
Use a professional, business font such as Arial or Verdana
Use the same font throughout your resume.
Use white space. Crowded text is difficult to read.
Use short bulleted text to increase ease of reading.
Keep your resume to one page.

Remember, the goal of your resume is to get an interview. Accounting for every aspect of your professional life smacks of unprofessionalism.

Resume Attachments

Unless you are invited to do so, avoid sending attachments.
Spam filters and corporate security measures will often strip attachments from email, or block the email from going through.
You can paste your resume into the body of your email. And, you can post a copy of your reusme on the Internet with a link to it.
Of course, it is always best to get your resume hand delivered to the hiring manager.

Simple, easy process. The results were as good or better than the more expensive, popular options like Monster. -- Riza - Kaiser Permanente
