How to Space Your Resume

By , About.com Guide

Resume Space Copyright Alison Doyle
Leaving blank space on your resume creates an uncluttered document that is visually pleasing to employers. You want to have about 1" margins on all sides of the page. You also want to leave ample space between each section of your resume; for example, between your "Education" and "Experience" sections, leave a blank space or a line across the page.

Typically, the left side of the resume contains the most important information, such as your previous employers, job titles, and your achievements and/or responsibilities. Resumes often contain additional information on the right side of the page, such as dates and/or job locations. This creates a visually balanced resume.
