1. use wide margins and leave lots of white spaces. it makes your cv easier to read.
2. use a clear, easy-to-read typeface. dont use italics or a small type size. be consistent with the typefaces you use.
3. make the section headings clear and leave a clear space between sections.
4. seperate each part of your work experience and education clearly
5. dont assume the reader wll know what some abbreviations and acronyms mean. if in doubt, use the full name
6. dont exaggerate your talents but dont underestimate the either. remeber to sell yourself by using positive adjectives.
