Be Bold!

Use either bold or capitals for your headings.Resumes must be easy to read and therefore you should avoid gimmicks. This means no fancy fonts, no boxes and
no colour and no italic or underlining.

Being bold also means highlighting your achievements and skills. Don’t be shy, if you:

• won a prize
• increased sales
• designed an innovative course
• created a website
• were nominated employee of the year

you should say so!

This isn’t bragging, it’s just stating the facts – showing your skills, experience and abilities, which is exactly what the employer wants to know. And he won’t know if you don’t tell him.
