CV Formatting
Small layout decisions that make a big difference to how your CV lands.
01
Tighter looks cramped. Wider wastes space. Aim for a comfortable, consistent border on all sides.
02
Never below 10.5 pt. If a recruiter has to zoom in, they'll stop reading.
03
Sans-serif for most roles. Serif for academic, legal, and traditional contexts. Never mix.
04
Except your name and contact block, which can be centered. Never justify text — it creates uneven spacing.
05
This single rule improves scanability more than any design trick.
06
For headings or a single rule. Two or more colors looks like a template, not a document.
07
Not a scan. Select the text — if you can't, the recruiter can't either.
Every OmniResume template is designed to be readable, parseable, and print-ready.
