Stand Out Names in a Resume

Since your resume is basically an advertisement for you and your skills, you should think about the design of your resume from a marketing standpoint. When you see a well-designed ad, what is the first thing you notice (besides a picture of the product)? The product name, of course. Since you are the product, your name should be the first thing a reader sees and remembers. To accomplish that, there is really only one rule to remember: Your name should be easy to read and it should stand out above the rest of the text. That can be done by using:

A Larger Font in Upper/Lower Case

ALL CAPS

FIRST LETTER LARGER

A Creative Font

In the Sample Resume Section, you will also notice the use of graphic elements and lines to help define the name and separate it from the rest of the text. Even scanned clip art letters or a signature can be used to enhance a resume , but the latter only works when you have great handwriting. Your name, however, should not distract the reader from the message. Make it part of the overall design of your resume but separate it from the body text with lines or spacing.
