| The
following is the standard flush left style that is most
commonly used in the business world today. In this format
everything is set to start from the far left. It is also
the easiest to set up.
I
suggest you use the fonts Arial 10-point, Arial 12-point
is even better; some other good fonts for resumes are
Courier 10 or 12-point or Times New Roman 10 or 12-point
fonts.
