Southworth® 100% Cotton Résumé Paper, 8 1/2" x 11", 32 Lb, 100% Recycled, White, Pack Of 100

The paper has a luxurious feel and a subtle texture that exudes professionalism. At 24 lb. weight, it provides a sturdy and substantial feel without being overly heavy, making it perfect for resumes and formal correspondence.​The white color enhances the readability of printed text; however, it is a tad darker than stark white, making the paper seem more professional / higher-end. The paper handles ink exceptionally well, with no smudging or bleeding. The paper feeds smoothly through my inkjet printer.​

Perfect for resumés that stand out in the stack. Seriously, even though they have your resumé from your online application, bring a paper copy. Also bring your own pen.The paper is also pretty good for not counterfeiting. Perfect thickness, feel, and toughness. Again, never counterfeit.

Love the thickness and texture of this paper BUT be aware that this kind of paper absorbs your ink (it's thick, cotton, not glossy)- not unique to this brand, it's just that kind of paper. This is nice and thick, durable, printer-friendly, doesn't smear. Your colors won't look as bright on this type of paper so more muted colors are better.

This is a good resume paper. I love the thickness.

I was very impressed with the quality of the paper. When it is on the expensive side for paper, the quality is good and looks very professional, which is worth the investment. Previous commenters had mentioned the watermark being too obvious, but I thought it was actually relatively subtle- it was obvious it was there but looked nice and wasn't overwhelming. The paper has a nice weight to it- obviously better than cheap printer paper but not to the point of cardstock, just enough to be noticeably nicer. The only caveat I noticed was that it was difficult to write on with a gel pen, due to the fact that there is some texture to it.

I bought this item in 2013 because I was soon going to be entering the job market as a brand new RN-BSN. It was hard in 2013 to get a job in a hospital as a new grad RN, which is no longer the case 11 years later. This paper made by resume stand out and the quality was bar none. If almost everything wasn't digital for resumes and cover letters in the medical job field for nursing, I'd still be using this product. Anyone who still needs to print resumes and cover letters, this product is for you. You're resume will stick out compared to everyone else who uses plain printing/copy paper.

I use this paper in a vintage typewriter that uses a brown ink ribbon. I also print my own letterhead on it just using an inkjet printer. It's a nice creamy color and the texture feels great. I also am a huge fan of using a 100% Cotton page rather than wood pulp paper. While I can't vouch for the validity, cotton in paper is supposed to add a year of life per percentage, so this could be considered at least 100 year paper.I'm not certain why this got a 3 star review from someone else, but this is definitely quality stuff. The feel is great, nice and heavy, it holds up well to my heavy handed typing, and the letterhead looks brilliant.For reference I typed an 8 page letter to a friend, with the Southworth 24lb Ivory envelopes it came in at 2.6oz. Definitely heavy stuff. Not sure how much thicker anyone would want without getting into Card Stock.

Job hunting is hard enough, so when you get the chance to hand a physical resume to a person, you want to make sure it makes an impact. I used the 32lb paper at a job fair and could land a job. Thrilled with the quality.
