Resume advice for consultants
Kendall advises that consultants create resumes that can be easily scanned by computer, as well as by the human eye. Keywords should be easy for a potential employer to spot as he or she browses your resume.

Kendall's tips for creating a resume that's easily scanned by computer include:

	Do not use underlined or bold type.
	Use a simple font like Arial, Helvetica, or Bookman.
	Use at least a 10-point font.
