Tip No. 225

Q. What kind of paper should I use for my resume?

A. Use a 24 or 48 pound paper.  Choose a light colored paper and if mailing your resume make sure you purchase the envelopes that match.  A cotton based paper works well.  Usually stationary stores stock resume writing kits that usually have paper, envelopes and thank you card included.
