extra line space, the information appears to float in
between the Career Objective and Education
headings.

To make her work experience stand out, Sara uses acombination of everything weve gone over so far:
She uses columns to put the years of her employment in an easily
skimmable left column.
She separates her job titles and employers and uses formatting to
draw attention to her job titles.
She uses spacing (indents) to distinguish her job duties.
