I think this is good advice. Sighted people know when a thing is visually appealing. Please use simple formatting, as many resumes get entered into electronic systems, which don’t tolerate unusual formats. I wrote an article for the May 2021 Braille Monitor. It contains time tested information. Welcome! 
Best wishes,
Dick Davis
