Job Hunting Tip #17: Leave White Space on your Resume

A recruiter quickly skims your resume.  If the document is wall-to-wall type or if your resumes is not on a single page (for more senior roles, 2 pages is satisfactory), then recruiters will not know where to look and will probably move on quickly to the next resume.  By leaving white space on the page and articulating only high-level accomplishments, you enable recruiters and employers to quickly see the key titles you have held, understand better your accomplishments, and identify your value proposition and what makes you special.  Less is more in this case.
