Description
Your resume content should be strong by now. This draft focuses on visual polish, typographic precision, and making it completely error-free, ready for employer submission.
Learning Objectives
By completing this assignment you will be able to:
- Apply typographic best practices to a professional document
- Identify and correct all formatting inconsistencies
- Produce a near-final resume ready for employer submission
Steps
- Review all previous instructor feedback.
- Focus on design this round: consistent type sizes, tabs set correctly (not using the space bar), even margins, clear visual hierarchy.
- Proofread for spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Read it backward, bottom to top, to catch typos your eye normally skips.
- Optional but strongly encouraged: schedule a review with Career Services for extra credit (see Extra Credit module).

Example

- Section headers all the same size and weight?
- Spacing between sections consistent?
- Bullet indents identical throughout?
- Dates formatted the same every time (May 2024, not May ’24 in one place and 05/24 in another)?
