There are other ways of highlighting critical information and presenting information in an organized fashion. Below are some tips that will make your resume more employer friendly.
- All Caps: Highlight section headings by utilizing all capital letters. This will allow the headings to stand out to the employer and provide organization to your resume. For example,
