The 7 Deadly Sins of Resume Design




They aren't recruiters, but they've got some great advice for the jobseeker attempting to craft the perfect resume.

Very nice site.

Here's an excerpt from their post on "The 7 Deadly Sins of Resume Design":

Unfortunately, when it comes to resume design, both non-designers and professional designers can commit some almost unforgivable sins.

Teeny tiny font size
