Answer 1

Apply:
- The résumé is well organized and easy to read.
- The résumé is typed and looks professional.
- The résumé uses correct spelling and grammar.

Do not necessarily apply:
- The résumé is printed on regular printer paper. (Quality paper can help, but paper type isn’t a defining feature of a strong résumé.)
- The résumé is at least two pages long. (Length should be appropriate — often one page for early-career applicants; two pages only if you have enough relevant experience.)
