• Fonts and Formatting : Garamond, Calibri, Cambria, Helvetica, Times New Roman, Arial, Palatino, Tahoma, Verdana fonts are good for readablility.

• Stick to single column format, Avoid two sections side by side on same page.

• Font Size : Headline - 12, Body text - 10, Name - 16-18.

• Don't put reference details.

• Use new words, diversify.

• Avoid pronouns. Keep it neutral.

• PDF preferrable the most since it won't change the format of text like Docx. If PDF option is not available then use Docx. Google Docs should work.
