Everyday, we're people searching for a better, happier, more content life. A good job, in retrospect, plays quite a prominent role at making that happen.

One of the first key roles to landing the job of your dreams is of course, a good, sturdy resume. However, many are not always the most savvy when it comes to knowing just exactly what employers are looking for. 

In the spirit of educating, we discovered 5 simple tips people should bear in mind when crafting a resume. 

#1 Font type

As creative as you may be feeling, it would be best to use either Cambria, Calibri or Helvetica, when typing out your resume. It is common and downright boring, but it is also clean and easy on the eyes. 

#2 Margin

Maybe not as important in this day and age, however if you can manage an inch from all sides, it would give your resume a neat look, encouraging employers to be interested. 

#3 Font size

Adjust sizes based on importance. So, if you'd like something to stand out even more, then maybe enlarging said fonts could help. Besides that, the options of caps locking, bolding and italicizing would also be good.

#4 Space

Having sufficient spacing in your resume could seem like something of aesthetics, and honestly speaking, it is. If your resume lacks breath, is messy and at the same time, aesthetically displeasing, then why even try?

#5 Precision

The common practice is highlighting as many achievements as you can remember and prove. But, remember that it's always quality over quantity. If it is 5 pages long, it is a turn-off, God knows you're not the only one trying for a job. 

All basic stuff and yet, very easily overlooked. Of course, larger picture, these 5 steps are certainly not what will guarantee you a position. Nevertheless, it will lay the groundwork to help you be on your way.
