Resume Paper Comparison

Resume Paper Comparison Resume Paper Comparison Resume Paper ComparisonTo be clear, we at Resume Genius recognize that paper resumes are no longeras dominant as they were when ur parentswere on the job hunt. However, dont be too quick to assume that youll never need a physical version of your resume again.Even in the age of online applications and applicant tracking systems, there are still a couple reasons when a physical resume might come in handy.For example, its always seen as a professional courtesy to bring in copies of your resume for an interview. It shows that you value preparation and organization. Also, while they may be a dying breed, there are still those ultra aggressivejob seekers who show up toan office in person with resume in hand to request to discuss any job openings with HR.To help job seekers decide which paper to buy, we purchased the top seven selections from schreibstube Depot and rated each based on their look and feel. Heres what we foundResume Paper 1 I vory 25% Cotton (24lbs) RatingTo begin, we must admit that weare not fans of ivory paper. Although you cant tell from the image above, the ivory resume is more of a cigarette-stained yellow than an off-white ivory.If you are going spend money on professional resume paper, either go BIG OR GO HOME.Besides the color, this paper also lacks weight. If you are going spend money on professional resume paper, either go BIG OR GO HOME. Sure, the 24lbs paper feels a bit thicker and more durable than the run of the mill printer paper, but it comes no where close to the feeling you get when you pick a piece of heavy-duty 32lbs paper.Resume Paper 2- Ivory 100% Cotton (24lbs) Rating As you can tell from the image above, ivory paper can be deceiving. When placed in naturallight, the color tends to be lighter and whiter. However, when sitting in apoorly-lit area, the ivory looks like a 20-year old newspaper thats been sitting out in the sun.The only difference between resume 1 and resume 2 is the percentage of cotton. A higher percentage of cotton helps toughens the paper by making it harder to tear or crease. Additionally, paper with a higher percentage of cotton lasts longer. In fact, you can expect one year of usability for every 1% of cotton.In case you are curious, the resumes featured in this comparison are our Career Level Life Situation Templates. If you like how theylook, you can download themhere. Resume Paper 3- Linen 100% Cotton (32lbs) Rating The linen resume was by far the best of the seven that we compared. The standout quality of the linen paper is its unique texture. Hiring managers find the linen resumeirresistible as the interwoven weaves makeit impossible not to touch.Keep in mind that when printing your resume that most textured paper usually only apply the featuresto one side. But thats not all The linen paper is also 100% cotton and 32lbs, making it the most durable and powerfulresume of the bunch. When you pick up this resume its al most as if you can feel the weight of the candidates experience. Overall, using this paper is sure to leave an impression on any employer and demonstrate that you are a sophisticated and professional applicant.Resume Paper 4- White 100% Cotton (24lbs) Rating If you want to get the attention of an employer, using some boring old white paper isnt the best way to do it. However, white paper is oftena safe choice for job applicants who arent sure how a hiring manager will react.If you believe that the company you are applying to leans on the conservative side, then avoid using a pink resume (a la Legally Blonde) and stick with the traditional white. This resume would havereceived four stars were it not for the fact that its only 24lbs. Again, if youre going to go the extra mile and purchase resume stationary, buy the heavier and thicker version.Resume Paper 5- Ivory 25% Cotton (32lbs) Rating At the risk of sounding like a broken record, let us please repeat ivory is just a fancy word for light yellow Since our expert photographer did such a great job making the ivory resumes look acceptable, we realized that we just had to give you a side-by-side comparison. Check out the image belowSo, now that youve seen a white and ivory paper side by side, what do you think? After surveying our entire office, we couldnt find one person who liked the ivory versions. If you would use ivory, please tell us why in the comment box below. Were interested to hear what you think.Resume 6- White 100% Cotton (32lbs) Rating Resume 6 is a solid choice. Its 100% cotton, crisp, has a high impact factor, and sits at a premium weight. The only thing this paper lacks is a little flavor and some color that might help it to further standout.Interestingly enough, some paper companies watermark their products. This is used as a security feature to help prevent fraud.Resume Paper 7- White 100% Cotton (CV) Rating To complete the comparison, we included Southworths CV pape r since many countries outside of the U.S. use the CV format. The only real difference between the CV and Resume 4 is the size of the paper. Resume 4 is 8 1/2 in. X 11 in.while the CV paper is A4.We hope our comparison has made it easier to decide which kind of paper can optimize your resume. Which of the seven resumes do you prefer? Let us know below.
