How can I make my resume fit onto one page?

There are a few different things you can try when you’re trying to fit everything on one page. Most involve the white buttons that appear in the upper-right menu bar when you open your resume:

Fonts
Reduce the type size and/or change to a different font.

Layouts
Change the layout of your resume to No Graphic for the stationery and either SpaceSaver 1 or SpaceSaver 2 for the format. The SpaceSaver formats are specifically designed to fit more text on a page.

Margins
Smaller margins allow more text to fit on the page. But beware – if they are too small, the resume will be hard to read, so don’t change them too dramatically. Margin measurements are in Pixels (PX). As a rough guideline, 12 PX equals about 1/8 inch or 3 millimeters (mm).

Other things to try:

  • Delete extra line breaks or spaces you may have inadvertently added between sections of the resume.
  • Edit out unnecessary words in bullet points or paragraphs.

One note of caution:

Making dramatic changes to your fonts and margins may throw off the formatting of your resume, so try to keep font and margin changes as minor as possible.

We understand that these things can be tricky. Please contact our Customer Support team if you have further questions.
