Resume formatting is important if you want to know how your resume looks on the receiving end, that is the prospected employee. Send it to yourself first to re-evaluate whether it is impressive or thus need enhancing, take advantage of spell-check features.
Many job sites allows you track your resumes through “Searches” & “Clicks.” The “searches” reflects the number of times your resume has been returned while the “clicks” are the number of times your resume has been viewed by an employer.
You can also choose to post your resume for application purposes only that would prevent your resume from appearing in any searches made by employers, but would allow you to apply online for specific positions, which tends to be more productive anyway and also serves confidentiality for your protection from unscrupulous spam mails.

No matter what other people may have said, resume is still your best weapon to get an interview. This is the reason why you should take your resume writing seriously. You don’t need to hear from a career expert to believe that a single typo can ruin your resume. And guess what, there are other things in your resume that are worth a proofread.
When double-checking your resume for errors, I suggest you look first at the spacing between words because this is one of the most common resume errors. Check also for inconsistent abbreviations, poor layout and unevenly-sized fonts.
Actually, the key here is consistency. It doesn’t matter if you use one or two spaces after each period, as long as you do it consistently it can pass the screening.

Have you ever thought of applying to all the job openings you see on the internet or ads? My advice to you is don’t. Just don’t. If ever you think job application is synonymous to lotto (the more you send, the more you get the chance of acquiring a job), then I’m telling you it’s not. Pick the job that interests you the most and apply for it. If you have been mass-mailing your resume to all the companies you see, then in some point of your job seeking escapade, there will come a time that your interview schedules will conflict and so, you do some rescheduling. If you do this often and the company finds out, you might get blacklisted. So, don’t do it.
