Job seekers leave a lot to be desired when they use old resume writing methods to win the favor of the hiring manager.
It is now time to use other means of persuading them to hire you – or at least, call you in for an interview.
Instead of using fancy fonts and designs to make your resume stand out, use plain font and format. A simple layout is more attractive for employers as compared to fancy detailing.
Take a look at the following resume sample for a food runner to determine how to do this:
