Resume:  What's the best paper to use?

Generally the most effective papers are those with linen or laid finishes.  Both are attractive, high quality and aren't too expensive.  Parchment which has soft shades of white marbled across the surface are also popular resume choices.

Linen papers have a woven finish, similar to a nice tablecloth.  Laid papers have a ribbed feel, as a result of raised parallel lines running throughout.

If you select these, you should be pleased with the results, and hopefully, so will potential employers!
