"It takes just a few moments for most of us to formulate a first opinion   
           ... on anything !"

We come across this saying time and time again and can be related to everything we do; from shopping through to meeting people or reading an news article.


The same philosophy works with resume formats.


Think about it... if it takes just few seconds for someone to form a first opinion, and if that someone is an employer who is about to sit down and sift through 150 plus applications for a job they are advertising, how much time do you think they are going to give your resume?


The answer is "a few seconds, right"?


Wrong - your will actually get more than just a few seconds if your resume look visually appealing. It's the format that will help you get past the first stage of the process.


But remember, you've another couple of stages yet (the format is actually the easy part!)
