Which font do you use for your resume

  • Article

I had asked this before, but this time the question is "which font do you use for your resume?". The other question is what do you tell a person who sent me her resume in Comic Sans MS font.

    I personally use Verdana. Comic Sans isn't so bad...she could have used calligraphy or something else much worse.FWIW my favorite font is Kabel (there is no free version though).

    I'd say cool for her ....Just like you like your font she likes hers. It expresses personality, it shows attention to detail. If it were in some horrible font that was not legible then fantastic.The fact that her resume is in Comic Sans doesn't mean she'd make a bad employee!

    hmmmm, I don't agree. Comic Sans do not mean bad employee. It would simply look funny and draw attention away from the content. I'm sure the contents of the resume is more important and you wouldn't want to draw you attention away from it.Font like other presentation parameters are context sensitive, I think for a R&D applicant it looks a tad silly. Whats more worrying is that I might be wrong but there'll be other like me who will be wrong and would interpret it that way.
