I. 1” – 1.5” margins are always a safe bet. If you having trouble fitting everything on one page there is some wiggle room, but be careful not to make the content look crammed together
II. Don’t go below a 12-point font unless absolutely necessary. Anything below 12 can strain the eyes.
III. Font style is really a matter of preference. Try to choose one that looks professional or that matches what the employer uses on their website. Keep in mind that different styles will change the size of the font.
IV. Maintain a uniform alignment throughout. We suggest keeping all paragraphs left-aligned.
