You can certainly create a reader-friendly resume by attending to visual appeal. Be sure to keep a consistent style throughout for titles, size and font, bullets, numbering, spacing and so on.
But don’t go too far with your text formatting, which ends up confusing the eye. When too much is emphasized, nothing stands out. Try to keep the amount of italics and underlines to a minimum. And please, avoid ALL CAPS at all costs. The human eye identifies words by their shape more than by the letters. Using all caps makes each word the same rectangular shape, thus making it harder to read quickly. Research shows that words in all caps take far longer to comprehend, bogging down your resume, and thus, your reader. And if that hasn’t convinced you, remember that in the lexicon of this digital age, ALL CAPS EQUATE WITH SCREAMING, which is not likely the impression you want to leave with potential hirers

The design of your resume is every bit as important as its content. Many recruiters will tell you that they have probably missed good candidates because the resume was too difficult to read. There are two things to remember: keep the look clean, and don’t be afraid of white space.
