J Jay Freedman Oct 18, 2009 #2 There is no such thing as an "ideal" format for a resumé. It depends on the job you're applying for, your personal background, the person who will be receiving it and what other resumés that person has seen. Look through the templates at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT101043371033.aspx and http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/CT103622221033.aspx, and use an Internet search engine to look for others.
