Your Resume's Look Is as Important as Its Content Good luck. MCBrig Since Busto is a hiring manager in the entertainment field, he encounters resumes with all kinds of fonts. "When someone sent me a resume using the 'SF Movieposter' font, and MS Word said the font was not available, I called MIS, and they installed a few of those '4000 Fonts' CDs, and my problems were solved." said Busto. Busto continues: "If you work in a creative field, managers working with such resumes should be able to open and work with anything they get, because they expect, and want to see unusual resumes that use all kinds of fonts and even pictures and graphics, because it shows evidence of creativity and imagination in the applicant." says Busto. Busto wishes you good luck. Busto BTG:lbj
Hi Juan, The best font would depend on your career field, as well as your resume'scontent. Some fonts are inherently smaller than others, so a smaller one couldwork if you have more content. The selections that Brig mentioned are goodbecause they are available on most computers, so the recipient's computerprobably won't replace your font with one that messes up the formatting. Makesure the font size appears large enough so that it's easy to read. | |
