Should I indent when I write just a short sentence?

Question

I'm writing a curriculum vitae and in **Special skills** section I wrote as the following: **8- Special skills** I have the following skills: - C++ - Objective-C Should I indent "I have the following skills" line to be exactly above the dots or not?

Answer 1

In general, it's a great idea to do anything you can to help anyone who reads your CV get the information they're looking for quickly and easily. Because the first reading is always going to be just a quick scan, the way you use white space and alignment are especially important. We want hiring managers to be focused exclusively on your qualifications and not to be distracted by your formatting; no detail is too small in our mission to keep our audience's eyeballs engaged.

Therefore, I would indeed pursue exact alignment.
