Why Is Zety Not Printing My Resume Right?
Create Your Resume Now
If Zety isn’t printing your resume right, check the document settings in the resume builder:
- Resume paper: 32 lbs paper is considered best for resumes.
- Page size: The page size set in the builder has to match the size of the paper you use for printing. The typical US paper size is letter size, while in Europe, it’s A4. You can easily change it in the resume builder in the final view.
- Resume margins: 1-inch wide margins are set as default. Check the printer settings if they’re wider or too narrow.
- Resume font size: The minimum font size is 10 points. If you use a smaller one, the printed document might be barely readable.
- Resume length: Aim at a one-page resume. If you need to go beyond that, make a two-page resume, but never a 1.5-page resume.
- Resume design: If you selected a colorful template, but your printer can only do black-and-white, try changing the resume style in the Zety builder to a different one.
