Lines
by
ResumeEdge
Lines can be either horizontal,
vertical, or full page borders.Lines
at the top of the résumé can be used
to set the name and address sections)
apart from the text so the eye can be
drawn to the most important information
first.
Horizontal lines between
sections allow the reader to focus on
each section separately and draw the
eye from section to section, especially
when there is little room for extra
white space (which can serve the same
purpose). The creative use of horizontal
or vertical lines adds pizzazz to the
design of a resume without appearing
too overdone. Resumes created with such
lines can be used in all but the most
conservative of industries.
It is important, however,
to avoid the use of too many lines with
different thicknesses on the same page.
The resume can get "busy,"
which makes the reader work too hard.
It is a good idea to use no more than
two line widths per resume.
The samples that follow
will give you some ideas for ways to
use lines in a resume.
