How to Design an Eye-Catching Resume: Formatting Tips and Tricks for the Modern Resume

Melanie L. Denny, MBA

Originally Recorded January 31, 2014

This teleseminar qualifies for 1 CEU!


Are you looking for new ways to present your clients’ value on paper? Do you struggle creatively to format resumes  so they are unique and attractive? Are you sick and tired of producing boring looking résumés  that look the same client after client? Content is king, but aesthetics are easy on the eyes. It’s just as important to make your clients’ resumes inviting and easy to read. Learn innovative design techniques within Microsoft Office to create a resume that not only reads exceptionally but pops visually.

In this teleseminar, participants will learn how to:
  • Best organize information, so the “good stuff” jumps out at the reader.
  • Use color tastefully without over-saturating the page.
  • Strategically place graphics (icons, graphs, text boxes, etc.) to catch the reader’s attention without overcrowding the document.
  • Manipulate margins and spacing to create white space and give the illusion of more space while keeping it simple for clients to alter.
  • Incorporate other design elements (lines, separators, bolding, italicizing, bullets, etc.).

Melanie L. Denny, MBA is a certified professional resume writer who works closely with each job seeker to gain insight on personal strengths, passions, and unique value while pinpointing the client’s distinct personal brand, building the confidence needed to shorten the job search.

She has written hundreds of resumes for various industries at all levels. Her clients have seen remarkable job-search success as a result of her ability to not only concisely articulate their value on paper but her talent to present that value through eye-catching designsundefinedultimately, helping job seekers differentiate themselves in today’s competitive job market.

Melanie graduated from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a bachelor of science degree in Business Administration, minor in English, and obtained an MBA with a concentration in Entrepreneurship. She enjoys the tropical climate of sunny South Florida with her son as her inspiration.


One hour teleseminar is $19.99 for members and $29.99 for nonmembers.
