Job searching is a stressful experience. Not only is it fraught with anxiety, but you must also put your best foot forward on a one-page resume that is supposed to summarize who you are, what you've accomplished, and where you're going. But don't forget about your resume design. Because hiring managers will notice your resume design before they read a single word, how you present the information is just as important as the information itself.
Hiring managers will only take a few seconds to look over a resume. What makes you ideal for the position may be overlooked in that short period of time. Furthermore, hiring managers are usually busy. They could be sifting through a large stack of resumes while doing other things, easily missing yours. Therefore, it might be a good idea to think about your resume design. When a hiring manager is rushing from one resume to the next, a visually appealing resume can make all the difference.
Resume design refers to the appearance, structure, and format of your resume. The design aspect is still essential, even if it isn't as important as the information on your resume. A professionally designed resume enhances good content. This is due to the resume being easier to read and the vital information being highlighted. Here's a list of design services that can help you improve your current resume.

The Importance of Resume Design
While great content is critical for increasing your chances of getting a job interview, the design of your resume can be just as essential. The following are some of the reasons why resume design is vital.
Positive Impression
Fun fact: A lot of employers do judge a book by its cover. When a hiring manager gets piles of applications, the need to differentiate your resume design becomes even more critical.
It Demonstrates Your Seriousness
Employers will make some assumptions when they receive your resume. They will evaluate your professionalism, attention to detail, and enthusiasm for the role before inviting you to a job interview. If an employer receives your resume and it appears unkempt, they will likely doubt your professionalism and desire for the role. Think about it this way: if you spend hardly any time creating your resume, are you genuinely interested in the job?
Shows Off Your Organizational Abilities
A resume that has poor design and layout demonstrates a lack of organization skills and attention to detail. These are two characteristics that most employers seek, and you must show them on your resume.
Distinctive
Due to the competitive nature of the job market, you must ensure that your resume stands out from the crowd. If your plain resume is buried beneath a mountain of other resumes that appear more interesting and inviting to read, it may not stand a chance.
