I created my resume using a template i found online, but for some reason my formatting is all messed up(some borders are going off the page, its two pages--when i'd like it to be one, etc) . I was wondering if anyone could fix the borders under each section, as well as align the boxes correctly and make it so that the resume doesn't run over to a second page. I will give reps for help.

i have erased my personal info :ninja:, but i have uploaded the resume as an attachment. thanks.

whoever fixes it, can email it back to my email: [email protected] or upload it as an attachment here

thanks:goodjob:

I'm not going to fix the template for you, because I don't have the time or effort, but I can tell you that it is obvious that it is from a template...
And that is not good thing.

Those check marks are TOO corny.

just wondering why you are wanting to keep it to 1 page.... employers don't really care if its more actually sometimes it looks better when you have the right stuff. I would make the font bigger and make it two pages.

Just so long as it doesnt go over 2 pages. The only pople that would need one longer than 2 pages would be upper level execs.

It's not a bad thing if your resume is longer than 1 page. It usually shouldn't be longer than two pages unless under special circumstances. :D

Fixed the run off/missing box problem. The only thing is I'm not sure how it will show up for you as I'm running MS Word 2007 and had to save in the 97-2003 .doc format instead of .docx

Not my fav template, but kept it mostly the same anyway. :goodjob:
