*Resume Formatting and Common Errors:*
✅ Font & Size:
🖋️ Use a standard, easy-to-read font (e.g., Times New Roman, Helvetica, Garamond).
📏 Keep font size between 10-12 points.
✅ Layout:
📜 Keep margins no smaller than 0.5 inch.
📄 Fit your resume on one page (1-2 pages for Master's students, 2-3 for PhDs/postdocs).
✅ Design:
🎨 Stick to black and white unless you know the employer uses a color printer.
✨ Use bold, italics, and bullets sparingly for emphasis.
🤓 Stay consistent with formatting—font size, spacing, indents, dates, etc.
✅ Content Tips:
📅 Use reverse chronological order when listing experiences.
🔍 Check spelling and grammar; avoid slang and abbreviations.
🚫 No pronouns (e.g., "I" or "my").
💼 Applying for research or performing arts roles? Longer resumes may be acceptable—consult an advisor if unsure.
