Full of good information, but I was surprised at the lazy examples. There are quite a few examples where the tabs were not set correctly, and they appear to advocate word hyphenation instead of justifying the lines. My advice is to look at the content, but do not follow the layout examples as to how a resume should look. The formatting mistakes/suggestions? made them cumbersome and unappealing.
