Use a laser printer.
Never use an inkjet or dot matrix printer. Visit your local printer if necessary.Only a laser printer will create the kind of quality necessary for your resume.
Use high-quality stationery.
Print your resume on cream or ivory-colored paper, of at least 24 pounds in weight.Other colors don’t look as professional. (I’ve asked recruiters and hiring managers and they agree).
You can find suitable paper at an office supply store or copy center. Avoid heavy paper, which can crease and damage the print.
