In most cases you’d probably look to create sections for your objectives, skills, tools, education, experience, references, and associations. Get Started Now with e-resume, an independent resume writing company noted by the LA Times that will take your information and write your resume for you!
Because InDesign is a hot software for creating resumes, I’d like to use this blog post as a tutorial on how to create a specific style for the headers of each section within the resume.
If you’re looking to jumpstart your resume, keep reading, or click here for resume service. It will be a uniformed style so that the resume sections are consistent throughout the page. This is a tutorial that implements the InDesign Tutorial: Learn How to Make Paragraph Styles into play.
I thought it would be interesting to close the Adobe InDesign CS3 Bible for a little while to see what’s good in another book.
Let’s open up to see what the Mastering Indesign Cs3 for Print Design and Production book has to say. A quick browse through the book shows thats its more descriptive. The pages are very detailed and include full colored screenshot guides. My first impression is that I’ll definetly learn alot from this book.
Indesign - How to Paragraph Style Resume Sections
If you’ve missed the paragraph styles tutorial just click Window > Type & Tables > Paragraph Styles, or take the F11 shortcut. Then you’ll be free to “create new style”. A new paragraph style will appear.
If you double click the new style, you’ll be able to name it and add your preferences within the paragraph style options. I happened to name my new style “Resume Sections”.
I was really sure about making my resume sections a bit larger than the other text on the page so I gave a 14 pt for size in the “basic character formats” option.
At this point, you can change the text settings to your liking. I’m really keen on the letter spacing too, so I applied the fundamentals of the How to Increase Letter Spacing - InDesign - Creating Resumes tutorial as well. Btw, the letter spacing can be adjusted under “Justification” in your paragraph options table.
After carefully forming your resume section text to look the way you’d like it, hit the okay button. Now everytime you create a new section, highlight it, then double click “Resume Sections” in the paragraph styles pane. Doing so will automatically format the the section title to the settings you’ve made previously.
I was able to type the word “Objective” for the first section of the resume after the header. Then, all I had to do was highlight the “Objective” text, and double click the “Resume Sections” style to see the font and letter spacing change.
