What font and size of font should I use when I create my resume?
I receive this question quite often. There certainly are all kinds of selections when it comes to fonts! To be honest, my preference when creating and receiving resumes is to use something that is clear, common and not distracting. So for this, I recommend “Arial”or “Times New Roman”. Font size is
typically between 11 and 12 with 12 being the most popular.
There certainly are other types of fonts that can be used like “Georgia” and “Century Gothic” that are also quite nice, just not as popular as the other two.
Ensure to make your name stand out by utilizing “Bold” and a larger size of font. You can use a different font type for this information, however don’t get “Font Crazy” and start using all kinds of
different fonts throughout your resume. You don’t want this to cause distraction, the key is to pull your reader in with the information you supply and how you supply it.
