Your name at the top of the resume should be 18 pt or 20 pt font; bold font is optional and depends on the font you are using. Your name is the most important part of your resume, since you want recruiters to remember who you are.

Some people feel like they need to express creativity in order to get the job.
3. Imperfect date/location alignment
If you need to align part of the text on a line to the right, like the date of a work experience, do not just use a bunch of spaces or tabs.
The collapse in the labour market since the onset of the global financial crisis has been highlighted by a halving of the number of jobs advertised over the past year, a survey finds.
The Olivier Job Index found the number of jobs advertised online fell by 7.43 per cent in April to be down 49.84 per cent on the same month a year ago.
Transport was the hardest hit sector, with a drop of 18.04 per cent in April, amid fears about a further decline in international air travel because of the outbreak of swine flu in humans.
