Creating a Résumé

Question 1 • *HSA 26-27 English IV A -IC

Which statement best describes how a job applicant should use formatting options in a résumé?

Answer
A
An applicant should never use formatting options such as bold and italics in a résumé, as these elements will distract and confuse readers.
B
An applicant should include many different fonts, font sizes, and graphic elements to make the résumé stand out.
C
An applicant should choose formatting options that make the résumé easier to read and should apply formatting consistently.

Explanation

Formatting should help a reader find and understand information quickly. An applicant can use options such as bold headings or italics when they improve readability, while applying them consistently throughout the résumé. Avoiding all formatting is too restrictive, and using many fonts, sizes, and graphics can make the résumé cluttered.
