The examples above showcase what strong resume design looks like in practice; the tips below explain the principles behind them. You might also find our article on [resume with no experience](https://piktochart.com/blog/resume-with-no-experience/) useful. ### 1. Choose No More Than Two Fonts Stick to one font for headings and one for body text. Pairing a sans-serif header (like Raleway or Montserrat) with a clean body font (like Open Sans or Lato) creates visual hierarchy without clutter. ### 2. Use Color With Purpose A single accent color draws the eye to your name, section headings, or key metrics. Stick to muted, professional tones for corporate roles. Creative fields give you more room to experiment. ### 3. Protect Your White Space White space is not wasted space. Generous margins and consistent padding between sections keep a resume readable at a glance. ### 4. Build a Clear Visual Hierarchy Recruiters’ eyes follow a predictable path: top to bottom, left to right. Place your name and contact details at the top. Follow with your strongest section. Use bold text and font size differences to signal where one section ends and the next begins. ### 5. Match Your Design to Your Industry A graphic designer’s resume can afford illustrated headers. A financial analyst’s resume should not. Conservative fields reward clean layouts; creative roles appreciate more personality. ### 6. Keep It to One Page (Most of the Time) One page works for candidates with fewer than ten years of experience. Senior professionals may need two. Every line should earn its place. ### 7. Export as PDF A PDF preserves your formatting across devices and operating systems. Word documents can shift fonts and alignment depending on the reader’s software. ### 8. Test for ATS Before You Send Many companies use Applicant Tracking Systems to filter resumes before a human sees them. If you use a creative layout, prepare a second, ATS-friendly version with a single-column structure and standard section headings. Ready to put these tips into action? Browse our [resume templates](https://piktochart.com/templates/resumes/) to start with a professionally designed foundation. ### Adapt to fit you As you might have noticed, design is just one of many elements in your resume that can capture attention. Take bits and pieces from these resume examples, and put them together to make a resume that screams *you.* **Need more inspiration?
