So a trick I learned when I was a developer, was Notepad is the best anti-formatter. If I ever needed to get rid of the default formatting for documents, I would open Notepad and paste them in there then copy it again into a word doc... Perfect!
I have noticed in the Recruiting industry, it works the exact same way. If there is a resume that I need to shape up, I will cut (Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X) it and paste (Ctrl+V) it into Notepad to help me out.
The worst type of formatting I run into is the columns.. I think it looks nice, but when I am trying to fix a resume up, that seems to be the part that gets me.
I like nice looking resumes... Headers, bullets, listed out skills, but the best resumes are ones that line up. It bothers me big time when I see a resume that has bullets and the candidates sometimes use a space after the bullets and other times they don't.. pick one way and stick with it!
